Alia Bhatt is excited about her first Periodic Film Raazi based on a true story

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt is very excited to do her next movie Raazi, in which she will be seen in a different makeover. Raazi is an upcoming Indian period thriller film directed by Meghna Gulzar and produced by Karan Johar. Alia and Vicky Kaushal will be seen in the lead roles. The film is an adaptation of Harinder Sikka’s novel ‘Calling Sehmat’, about a Kashmiri spy married to a Pakistani man during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Alia herself said that in the movie the audience will see her in a totally different avatar. Harinder Sikka’s “Calling Sehmat”, is a novel inspired by the almost-unbelievable real-life story of a woman who the author named Sehmat, to protect her identity. Alia is playing Sehmat, a Kashmiri woman who marries a Pakistani officer with the intention to source out intelligence details and pass it off to Indian forces. Vicky Kaushal is essaying the role of the Pakistani officer. 
Alia Bhatt while addressing a press meet said about the movie, that “I think in Raazi, the audience will see me in a completely different avatar. At least that is my wish because Raazi as a film is very different. It’s the first time I am doing a period film and is based on the true story as well, so I am very excited for it and I hope the audience will like it.” The film will arrive in cinemas on 11th May 2018. But looks like Alia is too excited for the film as she has shared her first look from the movie already. Alia took to Instagram to release the look which she captioned as “Six months to RAAZI!” With minimal makeup, a nose ring and dangling earrings, Alia looks every inch a Kashmiri beauty in the picture. Alia Bhatt has never hesitated in stepping out of her comfort zone, courtesy her films such as Highway and Udta Punjab.So we can expect Raazi will also be one of a kind.
