PM Narendra Modi Talks About Yami Gautam's Film Article 370 At Jammu Rally, Actress Reacts

Yami Gautam headlines the upcoming political drama, Article 370, which will release on the big screens on February 23. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his address at a rally in Jammu, said that he has heard about the film and praised it saying “it will help people in getting the right information”.

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.

While its unclear what the film is about will be about, it will certainly touch upon the central government's role in revocation of Article 370.

"I don't know how the film is but I heard about it on TV that a film is coming up on Article 370. It will help people get the right information," he added.
