Yes, Emraan Hashmi’s film Ground Zero is based on a true story of the operation that led to the alleged killing of Ghazi Baba. It follows the life of a BSF officer who is posted in Indian occupied Kashmir and becomes deeply involved in the counter-terrorism mission.
As per Indian claims, the operation led to the killing of Jaish-e-Mohammed’s commander, Ghazi Baba, who was allegedly the mastermind of the 2001 attack on the Indian parliament.
According to Indian media, Rana Tahir Nadeem, commonly known as Ghazi Baba, was one of the most wanted terrorists in the world. A top commander of the Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed, Ghazi Baba, was implicated in a series of high-profile attacks, the most notorious being his role in the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. The attack, which left nine dead, escalated tensions between India and Pakistan, and Baba became a symbol of the terror that had seeped into the Indian soil from across the border.
The film, an action thriller, is directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar. The film will hit cinemas on Friday (today).
Apart from Emraan Hashmi, the film also features Sai Tamhankar (last seen in Dabba Cartel series), Aeklavya Tomer, Rockey Raina, Zoya Hussain, Punit Tiwari, Mukesh Tiwari, and others in the cast.
