Rani reflected on her film career, saying that she always strived to represent Indian women as strong characters. "Outside India, films and their characters are viewed as windows towards our Indian culture," she went on to say.

"It is important to always stand by strong films and roles," the acclaimed actress said, emphasizing the necessity of dedication to one's craft. You may not always obtain the audience's approval throughout that time period. Such films and people, however, will find a place in cinema history." Rani Mukerji also stressed the importance of flexibility in an actor. She elaborated, saying, "If an actor is versatile, they can portray different facets of life." The more diversified my characters are, the more interesting they will be for both the audience and me. This variety of characters encourages me as well."

"For doing specific roles, actors often meet real-life people to get their physical characteristics right," Rani said, delving into the complexities of character portrayal. However, it is equally critical to understand all of their feelings. The emotions underlying a scene in a film are what set it apart. It is critical to depict emotions in order to reach the audience's heart."

On the subject of ageism in the film industry, the acclaimed actress stated that actors must choose roles that suit their age in order for the audience to embrace them. She went on to say that the audience helped her overcome ageism and other challenges in the film industry.

Sharing her personal reflection, Rani remarked, "I don't give much importance to the age factor and tried to do justice to my characters. Fifty percent of your battle of making people believe in the character is won if you look like the character."

While expressing her happiness with her journey, the acclaimed actress revealed that she has never regretted playing any characters in her film career. "But it was unfortunate that I couldn't be part of Aamir Khan's first production venture film 'Lagaan' due to a date clash," she went on to say.

Rani Mukerji has charmed audiences with hundreds of gorgeous personalities, ranging from 'Tina Malhotra' in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to 'Maya Talwar' in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and 'Debika Chatterjee' in Mrs. Chatterjee versus Norway. When asked which of her characters she has played is her favorite, she said that the character in the film 'Black' is closest to her heart, revealing that the character transformed her and enabled her to be a better human being. "The character of 'Michelle McNally' in Black inspired and challenged me at the same time. The character in 'Mehndi' also empowered me”, she added.

Usha Mehta (25 March 1920 – 11 August 2000) was a notable Gandhian and independence activist best known for her involvement in organising radio transmission during the Quit India Movement. Usha Mehta's dedication to justice and role as a model Gandhian make her an inspiring character. In 1998, the Government of India awarded her the Padma Vibhushan, the country's second-highest civilian award, in appreciation of her brave achievements in the fight for independence from colonial control. The film tells the narrative of this amazing woman who was essential in India's war for independence.

Sara Ali Khan, who plays Usha Mehta in the film, stressed the need of focusing light on the often-overlooked independence warriors and their unsung stories of sacrifice and bravery. She emphasised the mental strength needed to fight for what one loves, particularly in the context of India's freedom movement.

Karan Johar, who shared the infectious spirit and enthusiasm of IFFI, hailed 'Ae Watan' as a powerful story inspired by genuine events, centering on the indomitable Usha Mehta. He emphasised the film's depiction of genuine stories, emphasising the challenges experienced by individuals who are deeply committed to their country.

Aparna Purohit emphasised the significance of telling the stories of unsung heroes lost in history, demonstrating the potential of women in mobilising the public. Apoorva Mehta discussed how to recreate 1940s South Bombay for a period picture while keeping realism in every frame.

Closing the event, the filmmakers collectively emphasised that Ae Watan Mere Watan is a genuine creative decision, inviting India to listen to this compelling narrative that brings untold memories of freedom heroes forgotten in the annals of history to the forefron.

The First Look was launched during the opening ceremoney of 54th IFFI.
