About Article 370

Yami plays the role of an intelligence officer Zooni Haksar. Set entirely in the scenic backdrop of Jammu and Kashmir, the film is based on the landmark revocation of Article 370, which guaranteed special constitutional privileges to the erstwhile state. The trailer of the film depicted the emergence of terrorism in the region, with radicals seeking to seize control of the area.

Yami’s character joined the NIA and is given free rein to carry out a mission in Kashmir. The government has also promised to eliminate Article 370. Apart from Yami, the film also stars Priyamani, Arun Govil and Kiran Karmarkar in lead roles. Article 370 is backed by Jio Studios and Aditya Dhar’s banner B62 Studios. The drama is “inspired by true events that shaped the fate of Kashmir”.

Yami on positive reviews of film

Yami told news agency ANI on Monday, “We had full faith in the film striking the right chords and finding favour with the audience. We knew once a viewer watches the film once, his views and opinions in the matter (revocation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir) would change. A common refrain in the congratulatory messages that I have been receiving since our film hit theatres is that the youth should watch it as there’s no propaganda in it.”
