Barely a year after throwing punches and beating baddies to a pulp in Article 370 (2024), Yami Gautam plays a fiery bride taking on goons in Dhoom Dhaam. Tell her that she seems to have tasted blood with action, and she says it’s a running joke in her family. “My brother-in-law [Lokesh Dhar], who is also Dhoom Dhaam’s co-producer, was joking, ‘Achcha hai ki ghar pe woh aadat nahin padi,’” laughs the actor.

Director Rishab Seth’s upcoming rom-com sees Pratik Gandhi as a shy groom to Gautam’s daredevil bride, who rescues her man from the goons on their wedding night. Having been a part of the Hindi film industry for the past 13 years, Gautam is happy to have arrived at the point where she is no longer typecast as the pretty little goody-two-shoes.
