In today’s age of social media, it’s almost impossible to keep the details of a film under wraps. But the makers of Article 370, led by Yami Gautam Dhar, ensured that they kept the project hush-hush while they shot it in Kashmir last year. “No one knew what the movie was about. It had to be kept a secret. We are thankful to the police, the CRPF [Central Reserve Police Force] and the Armed Forces for taking care of us during the shoot,” begins the lead actor.
Director Aditya Suhas Jambhale’s political thriller looks at the events around the 2019 abrogation of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu & Kashmir in terms of autonomy. Gautam portrays a National Investigation Agency intel officer, who played a role in maintaining peace in the Valley. Aware that retelling a real-life story on celluloid is a big responsibility, she walked into the Jio Studios and B62 Studios’ venture armed with prep.
