Following the grand announcement of her association with Excel Entertainment for two highly anticipated projects — Ground Zero and Agni (opposite Emraan Hashmi and Pratik Gandhi, respectively) — Saie Tamhankar has kicked off 2024 with a bang. Known for her performances in films like Sridevi Prasanna, Bhakshak, and the recent Manvat Murders, the actress will be seen in a pivotal role in the film that delves into a unexplored subject like firefighters in Hindi cinema.
Saie Tamhankar opens up about Prime Video film Agni; says, “It has made me more aware and responsible as a citizen”
Sharing her thoughts on the project, Saie Tamhankar said, “I feel we haven’t seen any film about firefighters in Hindi cinema. They are the underdogs and the unsung heroes of our society, often taken for granted. I am proud to be part of a project that celebrates them. Working with Excel Entertainment was a fabulous experience, and this project holds a special place in my heart.”
She added, “In a way, I consider myself the ‘phool’ of Agni because my character brings warmth and love to this fiery world. Just like a flower evokes happiness and calm, my character adds love and joy to the intense narrative of Agni. Ever since I started shooting for this film, I ask a question to myself – PaGaL? Pa for Paani, Ga for Gas, and L for Light. It’s a reminder to always check and turn these off before leaving home. Thus, Agni has made me more aware and responsible as a citizen.”
Discussing her preparation, Saie revealed, “I had the chance to meet the families of firefighters, especially homemakers. I realized their unwavering support comes from the belief that their husbands contribute significantly to society and the nation. That sense of pride is their biggest motivation, and it’s truly inspiring and humbling. Similarly, my character in the film is deeply committed to her family’s well-being. Portraying this mentality was a challenge for me because it’s such a unique perspective. I also met firefighter couples whose lives are so unpredictable. Playing this role was not only fun but also incredibly fulfilling. I’m grateful to be part of such a meaningful and special film.”
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, Agni traces the journey of firefighters who attempt to tackle a strange fire crisis in Mumbai amid resolving personal conflicts. The film stars Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu, Saiyami Kher, among others and it is slated to release on Amazon Prime Video on December 6.
