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.

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.
