Emraan Hashmi calls making a show like Adolescence in India a 'nightmare'

Emraan Hashmi has praised the Netflix show Adolescence, while adding that making a show on a similar topic in India has its own set of challenges. “Adolescence has worked mostly because of its subject matter – the pitfalls of growing up in these times and social media. But inherently, it’s such a risky project because it’s just four episodes where each one is shot in a single take."

Emraan added, “If you put that across to a producer over here, I would say that nine out of ten of them would tell you, ‘Are you out of your mind?’ It would be a logistical nightmare. 13 minutes into a shot, someone may goof up, and we would’ve to do the entire thing again. What would happen to the budget? We would need a director who leads the team to be audacious and mad enough to make a show that way."

Emraan's latest film, Ground Zero, hit theatres on April 25. Inspired by the true story of BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, the movie highlights a daring operation by the Border Security Force that resulted in the death of terrorist Rana Tahir Nadeem, infamously known as Ghazi Baba, in 2003. Directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, Ground Zero features performances from Sai Tamhankar, Zoya Hussain, and Mukesh Tiwari, among others.
