Another production on Uri with Vicky Kaushal in the lead
It seems the Uri attacks have piqued interests of filmmakers, as a movie based on it is being shot in Serbia. In this movie, Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam will essay pivotal roles. The 2016 Uri attack was carried out by 4 heavily-armed militants on 18th September 2016 in J&K. 17 army personnel died in the attack allegedly carried out by militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed.
