Director Aditya Suhas Jambhale’s first two short films were set in Konkan, a region he knew intimately. Amritsar Junction (2020), set against the backdrop of the Partition, was born from his desire to prove to himself that he can do a Punjabi film. “I wanted to prove that I can handle complex stories that are not familiar to me,” he explains. Did this sentiment lead the Goan filmmaker to make Article 370, which examines the 2019 revocation of the special status that was granted to Jammu & Kashmir? Jambhale says the genesis of the Yami Gautam-starrer took place when he was shooting his supernatural film, Baramulla.
“Aditya [Dhar, producer] trusted me because the story of Baramulla was sensitive, and I was able to shoot prolifically in Kashmir. I had always thought of Kashmir as an outsider, but during Baramulla’s shoot, I stayed there for four months. In the last three years, the tourism in the region has changed. Businesses are booming. It was never a location for Bollywood, but now 20 productions are on,” shares the director.
