Sarzameen trailer out now: Kajol, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan star in a complex, bewildering tale of family, love and patriotism

Mumbai, July 4, 2025: Sarzameen ki Salamati se badh kar, Vijay Menon k liye kuch bhi nahi. The trailer for Sarzameen has dropped, sharing a glimpse of a complex, intense and gripping tale of duty, identity and emotional conflicts. Releasing on July 25 on JioHotstar, Sarzameen stars Prithviraj Sukumaran as Vijay Menon - a man torn between a father’s love and a soldier’s duty, Kajol as Meher - a mother who fights against all olds to keep her family intact, and Ibrahim Ali Khan as Harman -  a vulnerable young man caught at crossroads. The film marks the feature directorial debut of Kayoze Irani and is produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, and Apoorva Mehta under the banner of Dharma Productions.
 
At its heart, Sarzameen is a powerful tribute to the spirit of the nation, exploring themes of sacrifice, fractured loyalties, and the emotional weight of choosing between blood ties and a higher calling. The trio brings to life a family that is torn apart by the secrets of the past. The film will be available on JioHotstar in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
 
Director Kayoze Irani said, “Sarzameen is my first feature film as a director and I am incredibly proud of it. This story came to me like a whisper and quickly became a roar I couldn’t ignore. It’s emotional, it’s intense, and it asks big questions but at its heart, it’s about love, identity, and finding your place in a messy world. It is resonant of the world today and it captures the complexity of it. Directing Kajol Ma’am, Prithviraj Sir and Ibrahim was a surreal experience, they brought so much vulnerability to their characters and that made all the difference.”
 
Prithviraj Sukumaran said, “From the moment I read the script of Sarzameen, I knew this was a character I needed to play. It’s layered, intense, and speaks to the emotional cost of choices we make in the name of duty and love. Playing this character pushed me in ways I hadn’t expected—it challenged my convictions and made me reflect on the weight of silence, loyalty, and truth. I’m proud to be part of something so raw, real, and resonant. I also had the incredible opportunity of working with Kajol, who’s such a powerful actor, and Ibrahim is a gem in the making. I truly hope Sarzameen strikes a chord with the hearts of the audiences.”
 
Kajol added, “Sarzameen called for an emotional depth that really intrigued me as an actor. The role resonated with me on a very personal level. I was happy to see Ibrahim bring to life such a complex character and I am very excited for him. My character in Sarzmeen has so many layers, she is the emotional core of the story and Kayoze’s vision has portrayed it on screen in a compelling way. I am looking forward to the release of the film”
 
Ibrahim Ali Khan expressed his excitement and said, “Sarzameen is an emotional milestone I’ll carry forever. It challenged me in ways I never imagined, not just as an actor, but as a person too. My character is torn between love, loyalty, and truth, and navigating that emotional spectrum was the most intense learning curve. It was a treasure trove to see Kajol Ma’am and Prithviraj Sir in action, they are so gracious and effortless in their art and this pushed me to put my best foot forward. Kayoze too pushed me in all the right ways, he demanded depth, stillness, and vulnerability. I have put my heart and soul into Sarzameen and I hope the audiences enjoy watching the film. Stories like Sarzameen deserve to be seen and felt by everyone, everywhere.”
