The second half of November is here and this means that it’s the time for the International Film Festival of India (IFFI). The 54th edition of the festival will take place, like every year, from November 20 to November 28 in the beach state of Goa and the excitement is already building since it’ll be graced by some of the biggest personalities of Indian cinema as well as Bollywood. And now we have learned that Karan Johar and Sara Ali Khan are all set to add to the glitter at the festival.
On November 21, Karan and Sara will grace the festival where they’ll unveil the first look of their upcoming film, Ae Watan Mere Watan. The event will be held on Tuesday, November 21. Apart from Karan Johar and Sara Ali Khan, the other cast and crew members are also expected to be present.
Ae Watan Mere Watan features Sara Ali Khan as freedom fighter Usha Mehta. Reportedly, the film will majorly focus on Usha Mehta starting an underground radio station, called Congress Radio. It functioned for a few months during the Quit India Movement of 1942. In those few months, it left a huge mark as it greatly assisted the freedom struggle movement by broadcasting uncensored news and other information banned by the British government of India. The Kannan Iyer-directorial will have a direct release on Amazon Prime Video
The same day, that is, November 21, Salman Khan will be present with the cast and crew of Farrey to premiere the thriller-drama, before its worldwide release on November 24.
