Yami Gautam Dhar is stepping into a new kind of skin — literally. In Nayyi Navelli, the upcoming fantasy comedy from Balaji Mohan, she’s playing Mohini, a role that demanded more than just lines and expressions. It required her to build a parallel personality from scratch. 'You need to create a parallel personality in front of you and then wear it as your own skin,' she told reporters at a pre-release event.
That’s not just method acting, it’s a full identity swap. The film, set in an Indian family with a twist of mystery and magic, is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious genre blends of the year. And Yami isn’t holding back: she wants audiences to feel something fresh.
'Mohini will not laugh in the same manner as my characters from other movies,' she said. No déjà vu. Just new energy. She’s been re-reading the script obsessively.
