Vicky Kaushal, who will next be seen in Uri, says the film is based on an incident that "we all are proud of".
Uri revolves around the surgical strike carried out by the Indian Armed Forces in 2016 and Kaushal says the event has had a deep impact on all Indians. "People who are securing us can be attacked so mercilessly. They got attacked when they were sleeping in their tents unarmed. It's just an episode where the army took a stand that it won't be taken down silently.
“And they did a surgical strike in 10 days with official planning and it was the most covertly performed operations, something we all are proud of," Kaushal told IANS.
"Even the youth knows what happened, so do the elders. It just happened two years back and we all saw it on TVs or read about it in newspapers and we were affected by it. This film just shows what happened behind the closed doors and how it all happened, how all teams came together and all of that," he added.
Uri’s trailer has been received well not just by critics but also by some political parties. On it, Vicky said, "Any film that is made, is made for the audience. It's not for any political party. It's just for the audience.
"If political parties are watching it from the audience's point of view, it's maybe their reaction as an audience. We are thinking political parties are reacting, but they are also an audience. Aditya Dhar, the film’s director and writer, is very passionate about the army, and he has made this film as a tribute to the army and nobody else," Kaushal said.
"India and Pakistan have always been conflicting entities and we really hope that the citizens of both countries hope for better future and brotherhood. We have had good times, shaky times, bad times and again good times. It always fluctuates, the friction comes and goes. Uri is based on an incident that left a deep impact on us as citizens of this country," he added.
Releasing on January 11, Uri also features Yami Gautam, Kirti Kulhari and Paresh Rawal.
