Mohit Raina’s debut

Television actor Mohit Raina popularly known as the ‘Mahadev’ across the country made his Bollywood debut as captain Karan Kashyap. Being a Kashmiri and hailing from Jammu, Mohit feels strongly for the country and how our armed forces deal with the issues of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The actor was emotionally moved when he heard the script and the realities of 2016 surgical strikes. He decided to take up this role as there couldn’t have been a better.

War experience

Hindi movies that have been made on the war theme before have served us an emotional narrative but this is a hardcore military movie that talks about what happens inside the war room and the behind-the-scenes decisions, which is generally not shown on screen.

Vicky Kaushal’s film also brings back the terror of the 2016 surgical strike in the most candid and original way. There is no extra emotional baggage, no love plot.

The film is produced by RSVP movies and directed by Aditya Dhar. The film has Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam, Mohit Raina, Kirti Kulhari and Paresh Rawal in pivotal roles. URI is not only one of the most anticipated but also the first Bollywood film to release this year.
