The living legend, our Indian Army, had a contemporary cinematic counterpart in URI, according to Yami Gautam. As a whole, we remember the moment the film came out and treasure the overwhelming response we got from people all across the globe. It was a privilege to be a part of URI, a tale that honors the valor of our Indian soldiers and the resilience of our nation. The project gave me the opportunity to do something new, something I’d always wanted to do in my acting career. Team after team toiled away at the picture, putting in countless hours to ensure that viewers would have an unforgettable cinematic experience. Thanks a million to Aditya for bringing the idea to life and directing the film with such genuine enthusiasm. My deepest gratitude goes out to Pallavi Sharma.
