The film is directed by Shoojit Sircar and stars Jimmy Shergill with Minissha. Interestingly, the film is set in Kashmir, and call it destiny or the law of co-incidence, there couldn't have been anyone better then Minissha for the role of Ada who is this young Kashmiri girl in love with an Indian Army Officer Aman (Shergill).
Well, it's because Minissha who is a Delhiite and has also lived in Kashmir for a couple of years when her dad was posted in the valley.
"So this film is a godsend, it was like getting back home. I know how it is there because I have lived there; I know the situation very well," says Minissha who thinks the film carries a strong message too.
"'Yahaan' propagates love, peace, hope and harmony. It deals with various intertwined issues. I am sure it will touch people's heart and will give them something to think. I am sure the film will work," says an enthusiastic Minissha.
