Yami Gautam
Yami Gautam has been enjoying her time off from the shoot of Bala as she celebrates the release of her 2017 thriller Kaabil in China, along with co-star Hrithik Roshan. A day after recreating, with Roshan, the hook step of his song Ek Pal Ka Jeena during promotional work in China, Gautam talks to mid-day about the importance of a film's storyline in enabling it to garner mass appeal.

"Kaabil has a wide arch of storytelling; some ideas don't get dated," says the actor of a film based on its blind protagonists, who are torn apart after Gautam's character is raped. "It is a love story set against agony and triumph, and is relevant." The Sanjay Gupta film had Gautam play a visually impaired for the first time in cinema, an opportunity that she says enabled her to give a go at "something new and challenging".
Over the recent past, China has emerged as a promising market for films from Indian turf, with offerings like Dangal, Secret Superstar and AndhaDhun raking in good numbers at the box-office. Acknowledging the development, Gautam is only glad that her offering holds a place among these projects.
