Raazi, a cross-border spy drama, is based on the book titled Calling Sehmat. The film is set in Kashmir.
“In the film, Kashmir is not depicted in a negative light. Kashmir is a beautiful place and I love it. It is really unfortunate that their tourism business, which is a big part of the revenue, is affected because of the incidents that took place. People think that Kashmir is not a safe place to go, but that is not true,” Alia said.
Recently director Meghna Gulzar was asked what made her cast Alia as Kashmiri girl Sehmat, she told IANS: “From the time I learnt that I have to helm the film, Alia’s face popped up in my mind and that never changed. I am really thankful to Alia for agreeing to do the film. Otherwise I couldn’t have made the film.
“I don’t think anybody else could fit in, with all due respect to the other actresses.”
