Statement
What does Yami have to say?
"The prep work for 'Uri' has just begun. In terms of the action training, we are shortlisting best options and MMA is a crucial part of the role," Yami said.
"The MMA is more to suit the body-language which the script demands. Playing an intelligence officer on screen commands a certain degree of discipline and needs a body mannerism which is tough" she added.
