What did you think of Raazi? Let us know in the comments below.
At the success press meet of Raazi, when Alia Bhatt was asked about her character Sehmat and how did she manage to perform it so well, she answered, "In this film, I needed to be mad about the character and when your director gets and loves your madness, there’s nothing better than that. How vulnerable an actor feels in front of the camera, especially while playing a character like this?"
She added, "It’s like being surrounded by fire and you can feel the heat even when you are aware that it’s not there. And your director tells you, 'I know what you are going through. You are not alone and we are in this together', and this is important that I went on this journey with someone."
The film portrays patriotism in a beautiful manner without showing any negativity between India-Pakistan. Talking about her film Raazi, Meghna said, "The story itself is such a powerful one that we don’t need planks of placard-carrying jingoism. You say what to say and you do that simply and honestly. When you are making a film on patriotism and you are not bashing Pakistan, you need brave people to back it."
She added, "We don’t need to show someone as bad to show ourselves as good. You don’t need slogan cheering for that. The story was such that neither it was needed nor did we feel the need to add various things to make the story spicy and saleable."
