Sarzameen trailer: Kajol, Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer promises an intense ride; Ibrahim Ali Khan gets love for his raw rook
Excited to present 'Sarzameen' among the audience, Director Kayoze in a press note said, ' Sarzameen is my first feature film as a director and I am incredibly proud of it. This story came to me like a whisper and quickly became a roar I couldn't ignore. It's emotional, it's intense, and it asks big questions but at its heart, it's about love, identity, and finding your place in a messy world. It is resonant of the world today and it captures the complexity of it.'
He added, 'Directing Kajol Ma'am, Prithviraj Sir and Ibrahim was a surreal experience, they brought so much vulnerability to their characters and that made all the difference.' What does Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol has to show?
Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol also shared their experience working in the film. Prithviraj said, 'From the moment I read the script of Sarzameen, I knew this was a character I needed to play. It's layered, intense, and speaks to the emotional cost of choices we make in the name of duty and love. Playing this character pushed me in ways I hadn't expected–it challenged my convictions and made me reflect on the weight of silence, loyalty, and truth. He said that he is 'proud to be part of something so raw, real, and resonant.'
Kajol added, 'Sarzameen called for an emotional depth that really intrigued me as an actor. The role resonated with me on a very personal level. I was happy to see Ibrahim bring to life such a complex character and I am very excited for him. My character in Sarzameen has so many layers, she is the emotional core of the story and Kayoze's vision has portrayed it on screen in a compelling way. I am looking forward to the release of the film'
Ibrahim Ali Khan will be seen as…
Ibrahim Ali Khan also opened up about his experience. He said, 'Sarzameen is an emotional milestone I'll carry forever. It challenged me in ways I never imagined, not just as an actor, but as a person too. My character is torn between love, loyalty, and truth, and navigating that emotional spectrum was the most intense learning curve. It was a treasure trove to see Kajol Ma'am and Prithviraj Sir in action, they are so gracious and effortless in their art and this pushed me to put my best foot forward.'
He added, 'Kayoze too pushed me in all the right ways, he demanded depth, stillness, and vulnerability. I have put my heart and soul into Sarzameen and I hope the audiences enjoy watching the film. Stories like Sarzameen deserve to be seen and felt by everyone, everywhere.' Watch the trailer of Sarzameen:
Sarzameen is produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, and Apoorva Mehta under the banner of Dharma Productions. It will be released on JioHotstar on July 25.

Mumbai's iconic Filmistan Studios, founded by Kajol and Rani Mukerji's grandfather, sold for Rs 183 crore; to be redeveloped into luxury towers by 2026
Filmistan Studios, one of Mumbai's earliest and most storied film studios, has officially been acquired by Arkade Developers for Rs 183 crore. The deal was registered on July 3 and marks the end of an era for a property that played a foundational role in shaping the landscape of Indian cinema since the 1940s. Filmistan was founded in 1943 by Sasadhar Mukherjee, grandfather of actors Kajol and Rani Mukerji, alongside actor Ashok Kumar, Gyan Mukherjee, and Rai Bahadur Chunilal. The studio was born out of a break from Bombay Talkies, and quickly became a hub for Hindi film production. Back then, studios weren't just rental spaces, they were full-fledged production houses employing actors on monthly salaries. A legacy of Indian cinema to be replaced by luxury living Known for its sound stages, accessible outdoor sets, and central location in Goregaon West, Filmistan served as the backdrop for countless Bollywood films, TV shows, and advertisements over several decades. However, with newer, tech-savvy studios mushrooming across the city, Filmistan gradually lost its sheen. Now, the four-acre parcel on SV Road is set to transform. Arkade Developers plans to launch an ultra-luxury residential project with a projected gross development value of Rs 3,000 crore. The high-rise development, slated for a tentative launch in 2026, will reportedly include 3, 4, and 5 BHK residences and penthouses across two 50-storey towers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upto 15% Discount for Salaried Individuals ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo 'Thrilled to shape the next chapter' Confirming the news on LinkedIn, Arkade Developers' Chairman and Managing Director Amit Jain wrote, 'Thrilled to share that Arkade Developers has successfully acquired the iconic 4-acre Filmistan Pvt.

Dharmesh Yelande Spotted At Filmistan Studio In a statement to Hindustan Times, Jain emphasised the emotional weight of the site: 'Filmistan Studios holds immense emotional and legacy significance for Mumbai, and we are privileged to be entrusted with shaping its next chapter. This development will go beyond being a premium address, and it will offer a thoughtfully curated lifestyle experience for a discerning few.' He also said that the company's aim is not just to construct homes, but to build a legacy reflective of Mumbai's evolving aspirations.
