Uri - The Surgical Strike’: Yami Gautam takes a cue from Jessica Chastain for the film 

Yami Gautam will soon be seen in Aditya Dhar’s ‘Uri - The Surgical Strike’

starring Vicky Kaushal essaying the lead captain who was at the forefront

of the real life surgical strike of 2016, in retaliation to the cowardice

attacks by Pakistan on unarmed Indian military personnel in

Uri, Kashmir.

Yami plays an intelligence officer and the actress went through an array of

things for preparation to get into the skin of a character, something she’s

never done before. With the zeal to star in a real life Indian army story,

Yami even went through a look transformation to give herself the edge to

look the part on screen choosing her tresses for a more cleaner, serious

look.

From what we have gathered in the trailer, her character is a no-nonsense

thorough intelligence analyst and Yami took great deal of inspiration from

the 2012 iconic film, ‘Zero Dark Thirty’. The film which has Jessica Chastain in the lead role of Maya, a fictional CIA officer

leading the hunt for Osama Bin Laden became the ground inspiration for Yami for her role in ‘Uri’. She positively felt that

Jessica’s role and her efforts were impeccable and is a great base of homework for any actor essaying a role of armed services

professional on screen.

Speaking about the inspiration, Yami said, “’Zero Dark Thirty’ is personally one of my favourite films. Jessica was at her best in

that film and the effort the entire team put into the film was beyond. The film definitely deserved every accolade it got. Jessica’s

character of an intelligence officer was truly inspirational and did create a good growing for me to just watch it and understand
