Sara Ali Khan talks about the challenge of shedding her 'Namaste Darshakon' image for 'Ae Watan Mere Watan'

Right after making her debut in the movie ‘Kedarnath,’ Sara Ali Khan was able to carve a way for herself in the industry. She not only impressed filmmakers and grabbed diverse roles, but even made her way to the hearts of the audience with her down-to-earth persona. However, her always so bubbly nature seems to be a hindrance at the moment. In a recent media interaction, Sara acknowledges the challenge of shedding her 'namaste darshakon' image to promote her upcoming film, ‘Ae Watan Mere Watan.’
While talking to News18 Showsha, the actress candidly shared her perspective.She has always been known for her witty sense of humour, her fun banters with the shutterbugs, and her infamous ‘knock-knock’ jokes. All these things kind of complimented her promotional tactics as well during her past projects. However, this time, the actress is stepping into a new genre, and if to be put in her own words, her ‘sasti juttis’ aren’t going to help her.

Sara's remarks shed light on her versatile approach to her craft, indicating her readiness to embrace diverse roles beyond her established persona.
Meanwhile, circling back to her upcoming movie ‘Ae Watan Mere Watan.’ It ventures into the historical biographical drama genre, chronicling the inspiring narrative of Usha Mehta during India's freedom struggle in 1942.

Scheduled for its OTT debut on March 21, 2024, the drama also stars Emraan Hashmi, Anand Tiwari, Sachin Khedekar, Benedict Garrett, Sparsh Shrivastav, Alexx O'Nell and Abhay Verma. Directed by Kannan Iyer, the film promises to offer a compelling portrayal of courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
