Directed by Shoojit Sircar, Ayushmann and Yami Gautam starrer ‘Vicky Donor’ raised an issue as sensitive as sperm donation and was declared a super hit. Made on a meagre budget of Rs 5 crore, the film went on to collect a massive Rs 65 crore.
In a conversation with a few months ago, Yami recalled the time when she felt lost right after the success of her debut film.
“Right after my first film, in fact right after the success of the film I did feel lost…I did not know which way to take..I was not able to connect to the opportunities I was receiving at that time…’Do I stay without work or do I take these opportunities and still try,’ all these thoughts used to linger in my mind…it took me a while to understand my own self and how to channelise my voice,” Yami said.”I had to rediscover myself to understand what’s my purpose of coming all the way here and leaving my hometown,” she added.
In the upcoming months, Yami will be seen in ‘Dhoom Dhaam’ alongside Prateek Gandhi, and ‘OMG 2’ opposite Akshay Kumar.
