Bollywood actress Yami Gautam is headed to Serbia to start shooting for the first schedule of her upcoming film "Uri". "Yami is all set for her first schedule in Siberia. As her fans and media have been tracking not only has she gotten fitter, but has gone through a makeover to dive into the character she is playing," a spokesperson said in a statement.
