Raazi narrates the story of a young Kashmiri girl, Sehmat Khan, who is trained to become a spy and then married off to a Pakistani Army officer. Sehmat is sent on a mission to gather information for the Indian intelligence. Raazi is based on a novel, Calling Sehmat, written by Harinder Sikka, a former Indian Navy officer. The novel is inspired by the story of a Kashmiri woman who married a Pakistani officer during the 1971 India-Pakistan war. Alia Bhatt’s portrayal of feminine yet strong Sehmat Khan was quite evident in the trailers.
