#Raazi is the second heroine-centric film to cross ₹ 100 cr mark, after #TanuWedsManuReturns… However, #TWMR was a franchise, so it had a huge advantage… #Raazi is the first one to achieve the milestone without the tag of a franchise or commercial trappings… India biz.

Meanwhile, at the success bash, Alia was asked about her character Sehmat and how did she manage to perform it so well, she said, “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 further 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.”

Raazi narrates the story of Sehmat Khan, who is trained to become a spy and then married off to a Pakistan Army officer. Sehmat was on a mission to gather information for the Indian intelligence during the 1971 India-Pakistan war. The film is inspired from Harinder Sikka’s novel Calling Sehmat. Alia Bhatt’s portrayal of feminine yet strong Sehmat Khan drew praise from all quarters.
