It is a period drama based on Harinder Sikka's novel Calling Sehmat, about a Kashmiri spy married to a Pakistani man during the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
“Movies, or in this case my movies, aren't just something I do for a living. It's kind of the reason I feel like I'm alive. So, on my 25th birthday, I've randomly picked out two images from the 25th day of the shoot of the film and the trailer will be out 25 days from today. Happy Birthday to me,” wrote the daughter.
‘I think I started watching some of the good documentaries when I went to FTII, Pune. Though I have been a part of many films that addressed social issues with the intention of bringing change in society, I think I have understood that documentary films can bring a change in our society’

Actress Kerry Washington says that she doesn't think she would have had children if it wasn't for the courage that her character in Scandal gave her.
She is mother to three-year-old Isabelle and 17-month-old son Caleb, both of whom she has with her husband Nnamdi Asomugha. “The thing that's really fun for me about saying goodbye to a character is they kind of live in you. There will be things that Olivia Pope has given me that will always stay with me.”
‘Avengers feels like a long serial’

Ruffalo, 50, has portrayed Bruce Banner aka The Hulk in three movies of the franchise till now. He is set to reprise his role in Avengers: Infinity War and says he has had a lot of say in his character's progression.
“Oddly enough, I joke with people that this is like doing a TV show where you shoot one episode every three years,” said the actor.
“I've been able to have a lot of say in where it goes, and you're also dealing with a new script and a new world but the characters feel like they're making a journey. It feels like a long serial which is nice, I think,” he further added.
