After playing a Bengali girl in her debut Bollywood film "Vicky Donor", actress Yami Gautam is all set for her Tamil-Telugu project "Gauravam" which highlights the social issue of honour killing.
"I am very excited about 'Tamilselvanum...'. It's my first bilingual film and the film is a huge project. I think it is a co incidence that all of the movies I am doing has a little touch of social cause. And I think when we can club creativity with commerce there is nothing like it," Yami said.
The 24-year-old actress' last film talked about the concept of sperm donation and infertility in our society.
Yami was in the Capital to be a part of ongoing India International Jewellery Week (IIJW).
The actress, who started her career with TV soaps like 'Chand Ke Paar Chalo', Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kam' among others, is playing a lawyer in the bilingual film.
"I play a budding lawyer. It feels close to me because I was a student of law. She has come from a very small town and it has got a tinge on the lines of honour killing and how still its prevalent in the society," she added.
Asked how tough to shoot the film in two languages, she said, "It's not easy. But I think as an actor that is the whole challenge and I don't think creativity can be barred with language."
Talking about her upcoming Bollywood project, Yami said she has finished shooting for Neeraj Pandey's 'Aman Ki Asha'.
"I just finished shooting for 'Aman Ki Asha' in London with Ali Zafar and it comes from Neeraj Pandey. I think he is one of the most talented directors," she said.
