Emraan Hashmi reveals his first look as Ram Manohar Lohia from Ae Watan Mere Watan

Emraan Hashmi is set to don a never-seen-before avatar of the freedom fighter, Ram Manohar Lohia, in the upcoming historical thriller drama titled Ae Watan Mere Watan, starring Sara Ali Khan in the lead.

The makers of the film along with the actor unveiled his first look as the freedom fighter, who features in a guest appearance in Ae Watan Mere Watan.

The film pays homage to freedom fighter Usha Mehta (played by Sara), who at the age of 22 used an underground radio to broadcast news exposing the British Raj during the 1942 Quit India Movement.

Emraan portrays the lesser-known hero from the pages of India’s freedom struggle, Ram Manohar, who played a significant role, helping establish



and run the underground radio that was pivotal during the Quit India Movement. He was one of the founders of the Congress Socialist Party and editor of Congress Socialist.

He was jailed, incarcerated and tortured multiple times throughout his journey and dedicated his life for the country’s battle against the British Raj. Lohia was the one who gave the idea of sapta kranti.

In the poster, Emraan aced the look as Lohia. 

In the poster, he is wearing a blue coloured Nehru jacket and a white Nehru topi. He is sporting black spectacles, and is raising his hand with fist closed.

Sharing the poster, the makers wrote: "channeling the fearless voice of independence!"
