Vicky Kaushal Leads The Fight Against India’s Enemies In ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’

Prepare for action: Vicky Kaushal strikes back against terrorists in the upcoming film URI: The Surgical Strike, presented by RSVP Movies, in cinemas on 11th January 2019. Based on true events, the film is written and directed by Aditya Dhar in his directorial debut and produced by Ronnie Screwvala.

A little over two years after the Indian Army’s so-called surgical strike on militant training camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, director Aditya Dhar is ready to bring the true story behind the dramatic events to cinema screens.

Starring Vicky Kaushal, Paresh Rawal, Kirti Kulhari, Mohit Raina and Yami Gautam, the film tells the story of the response to the 2016 terrorist attack on an Army camp in Uri, Kashmir. Vicky Kaushal plays the leader of the Indian Army battalion behind the daring strike against the perpetrators of the outrage.

To capture authenticity, the cast trained at Mumbai’s Navy Nagar with members of the armed forces teaching the cast true-to-life skills including slithering, using arms and ammunitions, as well as other drills used in real life combat situations.

Vicky Kaushal gained weight for the role and underwent extensive military training for five months. Training for five hours a day, Kaushal’s rigorous regime included three to four hours of military training to enhance the stamina, as well as gun training at the naval base in Cuffe Parade, Mumbai. Yami Gautam also underwent mixed martial arts training for her role.

Filmed in Serbia and Mumbai, URI spares no expense in recreating the Indo-Pakistan border, the Line of Control and other areas resembling military posts and terrorist camps. Principal photography began in June 2018 and was finished in September.

Describing the film as the story of what happened in those eleven days, director Aditya Dhar and Producer Ronnie Screwvala promise URI will feature war, action, and strategy based on truth.
