'Audience awareness will change film business'

Mumbai: The current times are exciting to be in the film business as audiences have become more demanding, says actor Yami Gautam, who is confident this wave of audience awareness will bring about a positive change in the industry.

It was seven years ago that Yami had stepped into Bollywood with Shoojit Sircar's Vicky Donor, which launched Ayushmann Khurrana as well. Her latest release Uri: The Surgical Strike has also been a game-changer for her as well as the industry.

"There's a great deal of presence for all kinds of films, writers and director and it's a great time for actors. Audiences are more demanding and that's what is exciting for me personally as I am certain this new system of audience awareness will bring a lot of positive change to the business.

"Personally I feel, now is the time for me to try newer things, do things out of my comfort zone," added the actor, who hails from Himachal Pradesh, and grew up in Chandigarh.

"I have been fortunate with certain roles I have played so far," she further added.
