November 15, 2024: The teaser for Agni, directed by Rahul Dholakia, has been released ahead of its December 6 premiere on Prime Video. The gripping teaser introduces a story of bravery, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the heat of danger, centered around a group of firefighters battling a catastrophic blaze.
The teaser opens with a dramatic scene of a burning building and firefighters racing against time to save lives. A powerful voiceover echoes, celebrating the courage and sacrifices of those who risk everything to protect others, stating, “Ham agni ke upasak hai. Balidano se kab ghabrate hai. Jaan chidak kar apni har jaan bachate hai. Bhula do hame par yaad rakhna jwala mein jo jeete hai wo amar ho jate hai.” (We are the devotees of fire. We never fear sacrifices. We risk our lives to save others. Forget us, but remember those who live in the flames are immortal.)
Pratik Gandhi plays the role of Vithal, a fearless firefighter, while Divyenndu portrays Samit, his brother-in-law and a police officer. The film explores not only the perilous world of firefighting but also the emotional and psychological challenges faced by those in life-threatening situations. The cast also includes Saiyami Kher, Sai Tamhankar, Jitendra Joshi, Udit Arora, and Kabir Shah in key roles.
Producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar expressed their pride in bringing a film that highlights the courage and selflessness of firefighters, stating in a joint press note: “The film goes much beyond action, exploring the bonds and conflicts that emerge when lives are on the line.” With Agni, Dholakia aims to delve deeper into the human side of the brave men and women who risk everything for others.
Agni will be available for streaming on Prime Video starting December 6, 2023. The film promises to leave audiences gripped by its high-stakes drama and emotional intensity.
