In the aftermath of the 2016 Kashmir unrest in India, a young local field agent, Zooni Haksar, is picked out by Rajeshwari Swaminathan from the Prime Minister’s Office for a top-secret mission – Cracking down on terrorism and putting an end to the billion dollar conflict economy in the valley, by doing the absolute impossible – Rendering Article 370 inoperative.
Yami Gautam says, “Playing the role of an intelligence officer in Article 370 was truly challenging; it pushed me to explore new facets of my acting abilities. The film has many intense action sequences which demanded physical and mental preparation, making it a thrilling yet demanding experience. Being part of this genre-defining project allowed me to contribute to telling a first-of-its-kind story, shedding light on the historical events surrounding the subject and its intricate complexities. Working with PriyaMani in the film was great experience. We both have different working styles, and there is a lot that we both learned from each other while filming for this film.”
Priya Mani adds, “Article 370 is beautifully nuanced film, and it was not just about portraying a character; it was about playing a strong, resilient female figure. My character has many layers, and it gave me an opportunity to showcase strength and determination of women in position of power. The film is an eye-opening exploration of an untold story, revealing the remarkable journey of individuals who played crucial roles in shaping our nation’s history. I absolutely loved working with Yami on this film. She is an easygoing person, and I hope the audience will enjoy watching us together on the big screen in this action-packed political drama.”
