Being predictable or pattern has never been his thing and I am excited for what’s coming up next,” said Yami to the news outlet.

Currently, on the professional front, Yami is looking forward to her upcoming theatrical – Article 370. This film is produced by Aditya Dhar and is slated to be released theatrically next week, February 23.
