The teaser for 'Sarzameen,' the upcoming film produced under Karan Johar's Dharma Productions banner, has been released, and it's created a buzz on social media. A significant aspect is that Ibrahim Ali Khan, Saif Ali Khan's son, appears in a completely different avatar in the film, surprising the audience.
Sarzameen: This film, colored with patriotism, drama, and mystery, presents viewers with a blend of intense action and emotions in its teaser. The entry of Ibrahim Ali Khan, alongside veteran actors like Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol, is garnering the most attention.
What's the glimpse of the 'Sarzameen' story?
The film's teaser is just a minute and a half long, but in that time, it draws the audience deep into the story. Gunfire in the jungle, the struggle of soldiers, and mysterious dialogues suggest that the film will portray the story of national security and personal sacrifices.
In the teaser, Prithviraj Sukumaran is in the role of an army officer who is seen taking on the enemies. Kajol plays his wife, whose character, though seemingly simple, reveals through her dialogues that her role is equally important and powerful in the story.
Kajol's powerful dialogue and mysterious style
Kajol is as serious in the film as her dialogue is powerful – 'You have made a big mistake. I told you before... nothing is more important to me than the safety of Sarzameen.'
This single dialogue makes it clear that the film revolves around patriotism, but it will also prominently feature family sacrifice and complex emotions.
The Biggest Surprise: Ibrahim Ali Khan as the Villain
The biggest and most shocking face in the teaser is Ibrahim Ali Khan. He appears in the role of a villain. With a deep look, sharp eyes, and a serious face, he appears on screen for just a few seconds, but he grabs the audience's attention in that time.
This style of Ibrahim is not only completely different from his previous looks, but it also indicates that he has tried to do something different this time. Speculations are being made that he may play the role of a terrorist or a traitor in the film.
The special pair of Karan Johar and Kayoz Irani
The film is directed by Kayoz Irani, who is the son of well-known actor Boman Irani. This is considered his first major project in directing. The film is produced by Karan Johar, whose films have always held a special place for emotion and visuals.
This film will not be released in theaters but will stream directly on platforms like JioCinema and Hotstar from July 25, 2025. This is considered a big bet by Karan Johar on OTT.
Here are the reactions on social media
Thousands of fans have responded on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube as soon as the teaser was released.
- One user wrote – 'Seeing Ibrahim as a villain was shocking, but I liked it.'
- Another said – 'Kajol and Prithviraj in one frame... can't wait now.'
