Actress Yami Gautam is all set for her upcoming film ‘Haq’ and shares her insights on what it means to be fearless in her craft.
Fearlessness with Responsibility
While promoting her film at a luxurious 5-star hotel in Juhu, Gautam emphasized that being fearless doesn’t equate to being careless. She highlighted the significance of balancing bravery with responsibility.
“Having been part of some important films like ‘Uri’, ‘Article 370’, and now ‘Haq’, I see a common thread: fearlessness. Fearless doesn’t mean careless. You need the courage to tell these stories; otherwise, you shouldn’t make the film. If the intention behind the film is to preempt controversy, audiences can see right through that. At the end of the day, we are making a film, and it must be presented as such. For me, it’s crucial to be uninhibited once I grasp the emotional essence of my character,” she explained.
Creative Discussions with the Director
Yami emphasized her collaborative approach with the director during filming. “There should be no doubt about how audiences will perceive a character. My discussions with the director were focused on emotions and how to portray them effectively for the camera. When crying in multiple scenes, for instance, how can I ensure they differ? Even if I look similar, the internal experience is distinct. Thus, my discussions are strictly creative; I try not to overthink. All that contemplation occurs before I commit to a film, allowing me to make informed decisions.”
