Mumbai: Vicky Kaushal-starrer “Uri: The Surgical Strike” will be released in Maharashtra once again on July 26, commemorated as Kargil Vijay Diwas.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film is based on the 2016 Indian Army’s surgical strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan as a retaliation for the Uri attack in Kashmir that claimed the lives of 17 Army personnel.

“It’s truly the greatest validation for any filmmaker to know that somewhere their work has got the youth of India to think about the bravery, valour and sacrifice of our brave soldiers and instill these very emotions in them,” he added.
The film, produced by Ronnie Screwvala, released on January 11 and went on to earn Rs 342 crore worldwide at the box office. The trio – Vicky, Aditya and Screwvala are teaming up for their next, titled “Ashwatthama”.
