‘Sarzameen' teaser: Prithviraj and Kajol take on Ibrahim Ali Khan in an intense face-off
Jio Hotstar on Monday (June 30) unveiled a first-look teaser of Sarzameen, an upcoming Hindi film starring Kajol, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan in the lead. The film, directed by Kayoze Irani, Boman Irani's son, is set to premiere on the platform on July 25.
In the teaser, Prithviraj is introduced as a dutiful yet ruthless soldier, one who goes to any lengths to gun down terrorists in Kashmir. We see glimpses of an intense face-off between Prithviraj and Ibrahim, who plays a terrorist in the film. Meanwhile, Kajol plays a wife who faces immense ordeals in her husband's fight against terrorism.
'Set against the backdrop of an increasingly volatile Kashmir, the film follows Vijay Menon (Prithviraj), known for his unshakeable sense of duty and personal sacrifice. As Meera (Kajol), a strong mother and wife, fights to hold the family together, Harman (Ibrahim) brings a raw, simmering intensity to the role of a young man caught between shadowed memories and unsettling truths,' reads the plotline from Jio Hotstar.
In an earlier interview with Variety, Kajol had opened up on working with Prithviraj and Ibrahim in the film. 'I've worked with Prithviraj [Sukumaran] for the first time, and he's absolutely wonderful to work with, and so was Ibrahim [Ali Khan], so I think it's going to be quite interesting to see both of them on screen,' she said.
Sarzameen is written by Soumil Shukla and Arun Singh. The film has dialogues written by Kausar Munir and Jehan Handa. Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, and Apoorva Mehta produce Sarzameen under their Dharma Productions banner. Star Studios is also producing the film.

Meet actor who faced communication issues as child, family opposition to acting; linked up with costar and is now among highest-paid celebs
This actor is one of the most sought-after celebrities nowadays and is considered a lucky mascot for many projects. Her last movie was a mega blockbuster and created a frenzy among fans. She has collaborated with some of the leading actors and directors in the block while her relationship status is a topic of much curiosity among everyone. Did you guess who we are speaking about? Yes, it's Rashmika Mandanna. Who is Rashmika Mandanna? Riding at the forefront of pan-Indian success, Rashmika Mandanna is one of the leading heroines who has conquered fame across Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi cinema. She was born to a Kodavu family in April 1996 in Karnataka. Her father owns a coffee estate in her hometown, while Rashmika's mother is a happy homemaker. The starlet also has a younger sister, Shiman, for whom she's always been more of a maternal figure. The actress attended a boarding school in Gonikoppal and thereafter completed her graduation from M.S. Ramaiah College of Arts, Science, and Commerce in Bengaluru. Rashmika's childhood and growing up Well, Rashmika hailed from a middle-class family and witnessed financial struggles while growing up. She had once even revealed how her parents found it difficult, at times, to pay rent and how challenging it was for them to make ends meet. In fact, Rashmika even highlighted how she could not ask her parents to buy her a toy since it would be difficult for them to manage their bare necessities. Moreover, during her schooling, Rashmika faced communication issues and was frequently misunderstood, which made it difficult for her to interact with her peers. All in all, these experiences helped shape her to a great extent. How a beauty pageant led to Rashmika's foray into films During her undergraduate days, Rashmika Mandanna was awarded the Clean & Care Fresh Face Award as a part of the beauty pageant she participated in. She was conferred this award by Akshay Kumar, and as a reward, she was made the face of the brand for the year. This move led to her being recognised far and wide, which is when Rishab Shetty offered him the movie Kirik Party in 2015. While Rashmika initially refused to do it, she later became comfortable in front of the camera, and this film ultimately became her debut movie. The film became one of the highest-grossing Kannada films, and the starlet won her first SIIMA Award for Best Debut Actress that year. Fame and beyond, post Geetha Govindam Gradually, she went on to secure film offers one after the other, each of which was quite successful at the box office. In 2018, she paired up opposite Vijay Deverakonda in Geetha Govindam, which was a raging hit within no time. This was followed by several more hit movies, including Dear Comrade with Vijay again, Sarileru Neekevaru with Mahesh Babu, Bheeshma with Nithiin, and others. Global recognition with Pushpa Well, Rashmika Mandanna did once mention that if her debut film had not worked out, she had plans of returning to her hometown and taking over her father's business. In fact, her parents were not entirely agreeable to the idea that she would act in films and become an actor. They had strongly opposed it for a long time before Rashmika ultimately became successful in her work. The year 2021 saw the diva achieve a breakthrough in stardom with Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise. Her portrayal as the shy, yet charismatic and docile Srivalli gained attention across the country, and she was hailed as the national crush. The same year, she starred in Sita Ramam, co-starring Dulquer Salmaan and Mrunal Thakur, a project that gave her moderate success. Bollywood debut, massive success with Animal In 2022, Rashmika made her Bollywood debut with GoodBye, alongside Amitabh Bachchan. This was a low hit at the box office, which is when she delivered her next movie, Mission Majnu, with Siddharth Malhotra. Finally, in 2023, the diva was roped in by Sandeep Reddy Vanga for the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal. Despite its controversial themes, the film was a massive success at the box office, becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 2023. Rashmika Mandanna's link-up rumors with Vijay Deverakonda Beyond her professional front, for the longest time, Rashmika Mandanna has been romantically linked to her co-star Vijay Deverakonda. The duo who have starred in a few films together are said to be in a serious relationship. However, while none of them have ever directly confirmed the same, their appearances together and even pictures shared from the same backgrounds continue to fuel rumors even now. Rashmika Mandanna's work front Coming to her work front, from 2024-25, audiences saw a very different side of Rashmika Mandanna as she went on to bag one massive project after another opposite leading stars across the industry. These include reprising her role as Srivalli in Pushpa 2 with Allu Arjun, Chhaava with Vicky Kaushal, and Sikander with Salman Khan. All of these were high-grossers at the box office. Her last film was Kuberaa, starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna. She next has Rahul Ravindran's The Girlfriend along with Thaama co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana.

Talking about the camps in Bollywood, Kajol revealed, 'I don't know whether there are camps anymore. There weren't camps, just friends or certain people who have worked with certain people.' read more Kajol, who was last seen in Maa and now gears up for Sarzameen, has finally addressed the rumours about Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn's rivalry back in the 90s.

Talking about the camps in Bollywood, Kajol revealed, 'I don't know whether there are camps anymore. There weren't camps, just friends or certain people who have worked with certain people.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'More than camps, it was a comfort level of whom you've worked and not worked with. I didn't have a camp, I worked with everybody. The camp system eluded me,' added the actress. Kajol also says maintaining work-life balance has always been a priority since she started acting in the 1990s and the journey became easier with the support of her family as well as the producers. 'I was one of the few people who worked on one film at a time; I didn't do 4 films at the same time (like other actors). I used to finish one film, then start another. I didn't work for 20 or 30 hours. I was always very clear that we would work a certain amount only, and my mom also backed me up big time on it,' the 50-year-old actor told PTI in an interview. Actor Deepika Padukone's alleged exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Spirit' after the two did not agree over an eight-hour working shift among other conditions has sparked a discussion around shooting hours in the industry.
