The trailer shows how Sehmat (Alia Bhatt), an ordinary girl from an Indian family is sent to Pakistan as a spy. Raazi is a story of Sehmat, a girl-next-door who turns into a courageous, brave woman. Vicky Kaushal, who plays her husband in the movie, too seems to have done a brilliant job. The film is scheduled to release on May 11, 2018. In case you missed out the trailer, watch it here.
