Prime Video has unveiled the trailer for its upcoming release, Agni, directed by Rahul Dholakia, a film that is poised to make waves as India’s first cinematic exploration of the lives and sacrifices of firefighters. The movie, set to premiere on December 6, features an ensemble cast including Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu, Saiyami Kher, and Jitendra Joshi.
In the two-minute-43-second trailer, the spotlight is on Vithal (played by Pratik Gandhi), a dedicated firefighter, who must navigate both personal and professional battles. The trailer opens with a scene of Udit Arora, a firefighter, educating school children about the importance of their work. It quickly transitions to Vithal, who boldly declares that firefighters risk their lives every day, emphasizing the underappreciated nature of their job. As the story unfolds, we meet Divyenndu’s Samit, a police officer with a corrupt streak, who is forced to team up with Vithal after a series of mysterious fires break out across the city. Their uneasy collaboration forces them to confront not only the growing threat but also their conflicting beliefs and values.
Director Rahul Dholakia expressed his excitement about bringing this compelling narrative to life, highlighting the bravery and emotional toll faced by firefighters. He described the film as a tribute to the unsung heroes who go beyond simply fighting flames—they are often first responders in crises, saving lives, and facing imminent danger. “Through Agni, I aim to shed light on the sacrifices and resilience of firefighters, showcasing not only their heroic deeds but also their personal challenges,” Dholakia shared.
Pratik Gandhi, known for his dynamic performances, spoke passionately about his role as Vithal, calling it a transformative experience. He emphasized the deep emotional and physical challenges that firefighters endure, making this a unique and significant project in his career. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime role, and I’m honored to portray such a dedicated and resilient character,” said Gandhi. “I can’t wait to share this powerful and inspiring story with audiences.”
Divyenndu, who rose to fame with his role in Mirzapur, expressed a deep connection to the film’s subject matter. He plays a police officer named Samit, who must confront his own personal struggles while working alongside Vithal. Reflecting on his experience, Divyenndu mentioned that Agni represents a major shift in his career. “This film is meaningful to me on a personal level,” he said. “It gave me the opportunity to explore raw and emotional dimensions of a character, and I believe the audience will be deeply moved by it.”
With Agni, Prime Video and Excel Entertainment are set to deliver a gripping tale of heroism, sacrifice, and resilience, providing viewers with an unforgettable look at the world of firefighters and the dangers they face every day. The film promises to be a heart-pounding journey that honors these real-life heroes, while delving into the personal stories that often remain hidden behind their uniforms.
