Karan
Johar
Makes
An
Announcement
On
Twitter
KJo
who
is
one
of
the
producers
of
this
film
shared
the
news
of
the
film's
shoot
commencing
today
by
tweeting
a
picture
of
the
clapperboard.
Alia's
Role
In
The
Film
The
film
is
reportedly
based
on
book
titled
Calling
Sehmat
by
Harinder
S
Sikka.
Raazi
has
Alia
playing
a
Kashmiri
woman
who
marries
a
Pakistani
official
(played
by
Vicky
Kaushal)
and
becomes
a
spy
for
India.
Learning
Urdu
To
prep
up
for
her
role
of
a
Kashmiri
girl,
Alia
is
learning
Urdu
and
how
to
drive
a
jeep.
When
Alia
Got
Goosebumps
When
asked
if
she
has
read
the
novel,
Alia
told
a
leading
daily,
"I
had
not
read
the
book
when
Meghna
came
to
me
about
a
year-and-a-half
ago.
There
was
just
a
basic
one-line
story
idea.
I
told
her
that
this
is
something
that
I
would
love
to
do.
Usually,
we
green
light
a
script,
but
in
my
head,
I
had
agreed
to
do
Raazi
even
without
the
script.
It's
a
true
story,
and
when
I
heard
the
turn
of
events,
I
had
goosebumps.
I
couldn't
believe
it.
Then,
they
came
back
to
me
and
I
read
the
first
20
pages
of
the
story
and
I
knew
that
if
I
want
to
do
that
one
film
a
year
that
challenges
me,
this
is
that
film."
Alia
Is
Scared
To
Go
On
This
Journey
She
further
added,
"Actors
want
to
do
that
one
big
Hindi
film
every
year,
but
I
want
to
do
that
one
film
that
will
completely
challenge
me
and
turn
everything
upside
down.
It
happened
with
Highway,
Udta
Punjab,
Dear
Zindagi
and
now
with
Raazi.
I
am
so
scared
and
nervous
to
go
on
this
journey,
because
of
the
kind
of
intensity
of
this
character."
