According to the report, Ground Zero earned ₹1.15 crore on day one. It collected ₹1.90 crore nett in India, as per early estimates, on day two. So far, the film has earned ₹3.05 crore. Even though it saw a spike, the film collected much less than what Emraan's 2023 film Selfiee, with Akshay Kumar, earned. It had collected ₹3.8 crore nett in India on second day of release, as per Sacnilk.com.
Emraan's last film, Tiger 3, which released the same year, had earned ₹59.25 crore nett in India, according to Sacnilk.com. His 2021 film Chehre with Amitabh Bachchan had earned only ₹65 lakh on day two of its release, as reported by Sacnilk.com.
The film is produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment. The action-thriller also stars Sai Tamhankar and Zoya Hussain in prominent roles. Ground Zero made history by becoming the first film to have its red carpet premiere in Srinagar in 38 years.
Ground Zero chronicles the story of BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, who led the operation to track the mastermind behind the 2001 terrorist attacks on the Parliament and Akshardham Temple.
Recently, the film's director, Tejas Deoskar, shared his working experience with Emraan and why he decided to cast him in Ground Zero. In a conversation with news agency ANI, he shared that his first choice was Emraan, 'When you start writing the script, visualising the script, you start also seeing the actor in it.'
"And the reason why I thought Emraan could be a choice because he brings in a certain level of novelty because he's not done a role in uniform. Nobody has expected him to be a soldier or an officer, so I thought that I can bring in a new perspective from a casting point of view," he had added.

While the film did justice in offering a glimpse into the lives of these thugs, it wasn't long-standing in the larger scheme of things. What makes for a truly great gangster story? It's not just the violent clashes between rival gangs – it's the high-stakes drama that cuts through it all. The first half of 'Thug Life' had all of it.'The film also features Trisha Krishnan, Silambarasan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Joju George, and Ali Fazal in key InMust Watch
