In a new Ae Watan Mere Watan poster, Emraan Hashmi’s first look from the patriotic film
was unveiled by the makers on Monday. Emraan sported black-rimmed glasses, a khadi
jacket and a Nehru cap, and looked almost unrecognisable. Fans also reacted to the
actor’s never-before-seen avatar in his first look from Ae Watan Mere Watan. Emraan will
likely portray Ram Manohar Lohia in the upcoming film

In the poster, Emraan’s character looks determined in his fight against British rule in India. He clenches his fists, probably during an anti-Britain protest. Prime Video dropped Emraan’s poster on Instagram and wrote, “Channelling the fearless voice of independence! Ae Watan Mere Watan on

A fan commented, “This is unimaginable…” Another wrote, “Can’t digest this.” One more said, “Why don’t you mention Emraan Hashmi in your every Ae Watan Mere Watan movie poster, trailer and everything… why????”

The actor also took to Instagram Stories and shared a picture of Ram Manohar Lohia, confirming that he plays the role of the latter in the film. Ram Manohar Lohia is known for working with Congress Radio, which was broadcast discreetly from several locations in Bombay until the early 1940s.
