As per the source, the film will mostly focus on Usha Mehta starting an underground radio station, called Congress Radio. It went on for a few months during the Quit India Movement of 1942. In those few months, it left a huge mark as it greatly assisted the freedom struggle movement by broadcasting uncensored news and other information banned by the British government of India.

A thriller drama, inspired by true events, Ae Watan Mere Watan, has a script by Darab Farooqui and Kannan Iyer. A Dharmatic Entertainment Production, the film is being produced by Karan Johar and Apoorva Mehta, with Somen Mishra serving as the co-producer and is being directed by Kannan Iyer.
