New Delhi: Yami Gautam's latest venture, the action-packed political thriller 'Article 370', has hit a roadblock in the Gulf countries as it faces a ban. Despite the film's remarkable domestic and international success, the Gulf region's prohibition adds a setback to the film. 

In the film, Yami Gautam plays the role of Zooni Haksar, an intelligence officer, set against the backdrop of Kashmir valley, exploring the revocation of special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370. This significant historical event, where the Central government revoked Article 370 on August 5, 2019, resulting in the bifurcation of the state into the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, forms the crux of the film. 

PM Modi spoke about 'Article 370' film
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently referenced the film during his address in Jammu, stating, "I have heard that a film on Article 370 is going to be released this week... It is a good thing as it will help people in getting correct information."  

In response, Yami Gautam expressed her gratitude on Instagram, stating, "It is an absolute honour to watch PM @narendramodi Ji talk about #Article370Movie. My team and I really hope that we all exceed your expectations in bringing this incredible story to the screen!" 

Directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, the film also stars Priyamani, Arun Govil, and Kiran Karmarkar.

Article 370 Box Office Collection
The film is doing well at the box office and has collected around Rs 22.90 crore net at the domestic box office in three days. On its opening day, the film earned Rs 5.9 crore, and with a 25.42% jump on Saturday, the film collected Rs 7.4 crore. Sunday saw the biggest total for the film at Rs 9.6 crore, bringing its three-day collection to 22.9 crore.

Earlier, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's aerial action thriller 'Fighter' faced a similar fate, being denied release in all Gulf countries except the UAE.
