Meghna Gulzar took up the mammoth task of recreating 1970’s Pakistan in India. The film revolves around Alia aka Sehmat who becomes an Indian spy on the order of her father played by actor Rajit Kapur. Raazi is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Raazi is based on a real-life story dating back to 1971 Indo-Pak war which makes the film more intriguing than anything else.
