Actor Yami Gautam took to her social media on Tuesday and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he mentioned her upcoming film Article 370 in one of his speeches.
Yami shared on Twitter, “It is an absolute honour to watch PM @narendramodi Ji talk about #Article370Movie. My team and I really hope that we all exceed your expectations in bringing this incredible story to the screen!”
Yami Gautam shared a video from PM Modi’s rally in Jammu where he spoke about the film Article 370 and said that the movie will give “correct information” to the viewers. He said that he heard about the film a few days ago. PM Modi added, “I don’t know how the film is, I just heard about it yesterday. It is good that the people will now get correct information from this.”
In an earlier chat with PTI, Yami Gautam had said that people with preconceived notions will not be able to enjoy the film Article 370. She said, “If someone is calling it names… like ‘propaganda’, ‘jingoism’, and ‘chest-thumping’… Any section that goes into theatres already thinking or carrying a preconceived notion that this is what it’s about, you’ll never be able to feel or enjoy the film. There is no point justifying the film to them. I don’t think the audience thinks about these things. This film is for the majority of the audience and we make films for the audience.”
The movie is releasing on February 23 and the makers have announced that the film’s tickets will be available for Rs 99 on the day of the release. Yami shared the announcement on her social media and wrote, “A remarkable release day offer for a riveting narrative! Get your ticket at Rs. 99 on cinema lovers day. #Article370 releasing in cinemas on 23rd February.”
