On January 23, the day of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's birth, the first glimpse of the Dharmatic Entertainment-produced Prime Video original film Ae Watan Mere Watan, starring Sara Ali Khan, was released.

In this film, Sara plays a freedom fighter inspired by the 1942 Quit India Movement. The actress may be seen in the teaser giving a stirring speech in front of a radio in a closed-curtain room while dressed in a khadi sari and puffy sleeves blouse. Sara's character is startled when there is a loud knock on the door at the end of the trailer.

Directed by Kannan Iyer of Daud and Ek thi Daayan fame, Ae Watan Mere Watan is produced by Karan Johar and Apoorva Mehta and stars American actors Richard Bhakti Klein and Alexx O'Nell.

Earlier, she also talked about it in press statement, “I am so excited and honoured that Prime Video and Dharmatic Entertainment have given me the opportunity to be a part of a film that I truly believe deserves to be told. As an actor, and more importantly as an Indian I am proud to be able to portray a character that echoes bravery, strength and courage."

She added, "Working with Kannan Iyer sir is a sheer privilege as he is so passionate and emotionally invested in this story himself. And while of course it is very challenging to essay a character that is vastly different from anything that I’ve done before, it is a project I’m going to work really hard on. And most importantly, I’m going to cherish every day that I get to play an enigmatic freedom fighter.”
