Vicky Kaushal all set to star in a movie based on Uri attacks

Uri attacks took place last year in September, and now, a film is being made on the incident. The movie will have Vicky Kaushal in the lead role and will be produced by Ronnie Screwvala. It will start rolling early next year.

Talking about the film, Vicky said, “When this film came to me and we had this discussion. I was really thrilled and kicked about it because this is one story that I feel that everyone needs to know. One of the fantastic army operations that the Indian army has conducted and with great efficiency. I also feel it is a great opportunity and also a responsibility for all of us to portray this story.”

The actor will be seen playing the role of the commander-in-chief who led this operation of the surgical strike. He will be going through some paramilitary training for a month to bulk up and gain some kilos before the movie starts rolling.

Vicky said, “Really excited to get into this because I think this might just be one of the most toughest part that I have played till date, both physically and emotionally.” (Also Read: It’s a schedule wrap for Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Raazi’)

The untitled film will be directed by Aditya Dhar. Talking about the film, the director stated, “This is the story of what happened in those eleven days. It’s an honour and very reassuring to be backed by Ronnie Screwvala and to execute on this vision and what we believe is an engaging and thrilling story inspired by this true life incident.”

Ronnie Screwvala, who dons the hat of a producer with this movie, said, “Today we are a confident, aggressive and new age India – standing up for itself in every way and on the world stage. With this one single military action, we changed the fabric of our border politics forever and that became a watershed moment in our political history. But most importantly, URI is the incredible story of Indians coming together. At RSVP our focus is on stories that must be told and stories we Love to tell and this one is a great mix of both.”
