    What's the story

    2018 was a fantastic year for Vicky Kaushal. The actor was a part of three hit movies: Raazi, Sanju and Manmarziyaan and won hearts with his impressive performances.

    The year helped Vicky carve a niche for himself in the industry.

    And Vicky has started 2019 with a bang as his movie Uri: The Surgical Strike hit screens today.

    Ahead of release, he promoted the movie in a unique manner.

    Story

    'Uri' is a tribute to 'New India'

    Helmed by Aditya Dhar, Uri is based on Indian military's surgical strike on Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir in 2016.

    The Indian army retaliated after Pakistani militants attacked an army base in Uri killing 18 soldiers.

    The Indian army hit back on 29 September. Their precision gave no opportunity to the militants and rattled Pakistan.

    Uri is a tribute to 'New India' which is fearless.

    Promotion

    Just like the movie, the promotions were unique too

    Vicky is exceptionally excited for his first release of the year and is leaving no stone unturned to promote Uri.

    Notably, in this quest of his, Bollywood stars helped Vicky. Actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Bhumi Pednekar, Ranveer Singh and Rajkummar Rao gave a mid-air shoutout to Uri.

    The video shared by Vicky has gone viral on social media.

    The video

    "How's the josh", asks Vicky. Bollywood's response here

    In the video, Bollywood A-listers were seen in full josh as they cheered for Vicky'sUri.

    Vicky (in his military tone) asked the group "How's the josh?". And just like the soldiers, celebrities replied "High Sir".

    These celebrities also gave a patriotic feel as they screamed Jai Hind on top of their lungs.

    Now that's what you call a promotion!

    Is this patriotism a Modi effect? Amit Malviya says so

    Vicky's promotional video made everyone patriotic. But this feeling got a political twist after Amit Malviya, BJP's social media head called this 'Prime Minister Narendra Modi's effect'.

    Sharing Vicky's video on Twitter, Malviya wrote Bollywood celebrities have never been seen chanting Jai Hind with such patriotism before.

    He claimed that this nationalism among Bollywood's personalities was because of PM Modi.

    Information

    Malviya's tweet gets users talking

    Malviya's tweet didn't go down well with Twitter users who slammed him for politicizing everything. "Looks like you were sleeping all your life and woke up only in 2014. Kuch bhi," wrote a Twitter user. There were many more reactions.

    Twitter Post

    Don't politicize patriotism!

    What do u mean by that ?
    Are they anti national?
    Here Mr modi has to do nothing.
    It's their love for their country that compelled them to chant jai hind.
    Don't try to politicize it.
