The first movie where Yami Gautam and her husband Aditya Dhar collaborated – Article 370 – is scheduled to release in theatres this week. The movie, like the name suggests, is about Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. The film is inspired from true events and recalls the time when Article 370 was abrogated from India.
Release date and cast of Article 370
Article 370 will release in theatres across India on February 23. The movie features Yami Gautam in the lead role with Priyamani (The Family Man), Kiran Karmarkar, Arun Govil (Lord Rama in Ramayana), Ashwini Koul, Raj Arjun, Sumit Kaul, Vaibhav Tatwawadi and Divya Seth Shah in pivotal roles.
While Yami plays the role of spy Zooni Haksar, Priyamani is seen on the desk as Rajeshwari Swaminathan. Kiran Karmarkar plays the role of Home Minister (inspired by Amit Shah) and Arun Govil plays the Prime Minister (inspired by Narendra Modi). Vaibhav, who plays Yash Chauhan in the film, is seen with the Indian army, while Sumit is interrogated from the other country (most likely Pakistan). Ashwini Koul plays the role of Zakir Naikoo and Raj Arjun is seen as Khawar Ali.
Trailer and plot of Article 370
The official trailer of Article 370 was unveiled on February 8. It is where Yami’s pregnancy was confirmed with her husband, producer of the film Aditya Dhar in presence. The promo talks about how the PM ensured that Article 370 is abrogated from the Indian Constitution. With that, Kashmir is recognized as a part of India alone.
Rajeshwari chose Zooni for the mission – to abrogate Article 370 without any bloodshed. She faces various challenges, including being told that India is a safer place for her than Kashmir. The Aditya Suhas Jambhale directorial tends to focus on the PM and Home Minister’s passion towards the project and how Zooni can carry it out. This is based on the real-life incident from August 2019, when Article 370 was removed from the Indian Constitution.
