For the unversed, Ae Watan Mere Watan is based on a true story. It unfolds the compelling tale of Usha Mehta, a young girl whose pivotal role in the freedom fight for Indian independence is vividly portrayed.
The lead role is essayed by Sara Ali Khan, marking her debut in the biographical genre. Directed by Kannan Iyer from the script penned by Darab Farooqui, the film features a stellar cast including Sparsh Srivastava, Anand Tiwari, Benedict Garrett, Alexx O’Nell, and Abhay Verma.
