Yami Gautam opens up on article 370 casting doubts, reveals why she was not the first choice but still won everyone over
Actor Yami Gautam, known for her sharp selection of roles and consistent performances, recently opened up about her casting experience for Article 370. The film not only emerged as one of the most talked-about successes of 2024 but also positioned Yami as the performer of the year. In a candid interview, she shared how doubts were cast over her ability to carry the film at the box office — despite her track record as a capable actor. Casting concerns and the search for 'bigger names' Yami revealed that during early discussions for Article 370, a senior team member expressed reservations about casting her. There were suggestions to bring in a more commercially known female actor or even cast a male lead to ensure higher box office performance. 'They felt I wouldn't be able to get the box office numbers despite being a good actor,' Yami told Indiatimes. Initially, Aditya and Lokesh, part of the film's team, explored casting alternatives to avoid the impression of favouritism. However, those discussions didn't move forward, and the role eventually returned to Yami. 'I read the script and liked it. I didn't know how I would do this, but I had decided to give my everything to play this character,' she said. Winning over the critics and team Yami's performance eventually turned initial scepticism into strong praise. Once the film was screened for those involved, their reactions changed. 'They liked my performance and said that I was the best choice for the role,' she said. The actor credited the change in perception to the belief of a few who trusted her ability. 'It is just about the conviction of one or two people that takes things to change around you,' she added. Box office success and what lies ahead Article 370 proved to be a major hit and even received appreciation from the Prime Minister. It performed strongly at the box office, exceeding expectations and proving her critics wrong. After delivering another successful outing in Dhoom Dhaam, Yami is now preparing for a collaboration with director Suparn Varma on a new film inspired by the real-life story of Shah Bano. With more powerful roles on the horizon, she continues to be one of the most dependable actors in the industry today.
