Rishab Seth on casting Yami Gautam in 'Dhoom Dhaam'

Yami Gautam Dhar continues to shine as one of Bollywood’s most versatile actresses, captivating audiences with her powerful performances. After delivering a stellar act in Article 370, where she led a strong subject entirely on her own, Yami is now set to impress with yet another gripping role in Dhoom Dhaam.

Director Rishab Seth recently shared insights into why Yami was his first and perfect choice for the film. Speaking about her casting, he said: “ Yami is an A-list actress, so it's definitely a privilege. If I'm not mistaken, her film was the highest-grossing female-led film of 2024. So undeniably, her inclusion in Dhoom Dhaam is what gave the film the added heft. In fact, she was the first person to be cast. Pratik Gandhi was cast later. What’s amazing is that Yami, as a person, is the polar opposite of the character she’s portraying in Dhoom Dhaam.”

The film’s teaser has already showcased Yami’s distinct performance, and Rishab Seth further lauded her ability to completely immerse herself in the character. “That makes her performance all the more admirable because she has truly managed to get under the skin of the character and played it so convincingly. Another fabulous thing about Yami is that she always comes prepared. She is constantly thinking about her character, trying to imbibe the character’s quirks, mulling over what makes her character tick. So yeah, I’m really fortunate and thankful that Yami chose to do this film.”

With such high praise from the director, anticipation for Dhoom Dhaam is at an all-time high. Fans eagerly await another powerhouse performance from Yami Gautam Dhar, proving once again why she remains one of Bollywood’s finest talents.
