He’s a soldier on the frontlines, facing life-and-death situations where every decision carries immense responsibility. What moved me most is how relevant this story feels to today’s India — reflecting the courage, conscience, and conviction of a generation that refuses to look away. I’m genuinely excited for audiences to experience this powerful journey as it makes its World Television Premiere on &pictures.”

Director Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar added, “With Ground Zero, we wanted to craft a gripping, high-octane drama that captures both the valor and vulnerability of soldiers.
