Bollywood actress Yami Gautam has expressed happiness over the success of her film Article 370 at the ongoing 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI). Yami Gautam attended the IFFI in Goa for the screening of the film.
Yami said: "I have always chosen films that are special in some way or the other. It was not a very popular kind of film, and with it came many questions and suggestions like, 'Are you sure? Will the audience like this film? Will it connect? There are no songs in it. It is a serious film and based on a documentary.'"But we were completely sure that if this film is well made, has a good story, good performances and the support of the right team, then it will definitely be successful," she said.
Article 370 has become an important film of the year, with Yami's performance acclaimed by the critics.Yami said her decision to be a part of the project has turned out to a well thought-out one. "I think if you work in this direction consistently, the audience, filmmakers, writers, and producers understand that you can do comedy, political thriller, and drama as well."
Yami explained how she balances her personal and professional life, and also said that her workload has increased in the last few years."Actually, I am busier than before, and I am ready to balance my personal and professional life. It is a big change, but change does not happen overnight. It requires sacrifice, constant hard work and support from a lot of people. We should celebrate it, and I am happy to be a part of cinema at this time," she added. (UNI)
