The Central government on August 5, 2019, had revoked Article 370, which gave special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, and bifurcated it into union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.Gautam, who plays an NIA agent named Zooni Haksar in the film, described “Article 370″ as one of the most compelling stories she read.”And, I felt that it must be brought alive in cinema. I’m someone who goes a lot by my first instinct. If I don’t connect with the story or script, I don’t try and convince myself to do it. Whenever I have felt good right after reading a script, I don’t think my audience has ever failed me,” she said.The 35-year-old actor said playing a character based on the life of a real-life intelligence agent was an “honour” for her.”As I read the script, all thoughts about her character graph, demeanour, intensity and action stunts kept spinning in my head but it’s about gathering them and writing them down. I thought this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I definitely tried to do justice to this character,” she added.
