Earlier, while talking about her experience during the film's shoot, Sara Ali Khan told PTI, "In our film, there is a part where we call her a gumnaam nayak, an anonymous fighter because we don't know her. She sacrificed so much and you don't know who she is, that stands according to me, as a huge tale of sacrifice, strength and bravery. All this is prevalent in today's times or at any time. So, it was definitely challenging and exciting too," said the 27-year-old actor.
On the work front, besides Ae Watan Mere Watan, Sara Ali Khan will also feature in the thriller Murder Mubarak alongside Vijay Varma.
