Yami Gautam Is On to Her Next Project

Yami is not the least interested in resting on her laurels. She has now moved on to her next project entitled Navya Naveli, a horror-comedy to be directed by Tamil filmmaker Balaji Mohan, who has to his credit Vaayai Moodi Pesavum with Dulquer Salmaan and Maari with Dhanush.

The film will be produced by Aanand Rai. Speaking of her career choices Yami said to this writer, “Becoming a mother shifts your entire universe and gives you a completely different sense of purpose. Everything — your routine, priorities, even your definition of strength — evolves because of the little one who now owns your heart. Storytelling remains my passion and something that fulfils me deeply. Balancing both roles isn’t a fixed formula; it requires constant adjustment. What matters to me is that my son grows up seeing his mother pursue her dreams with joy, while knowing he is always at the center of my world.”

Yami admits her career choices are now defined by her real life role as a mother. “I genuinely believe once a mother, always a mother. Your priority, your world will always be your child first. Being a working mother means, also, your commitment towards whatever work you take up. I am learning to embrace that flow instead of chasing a perfect balance. I am and will always be grateful to my mother for stepping in, taking care and holding the fort back home with my son while I am away at work.”
