Mumbai: Actor Yami Gautam is joining Vicky Kaushal in the film "Uri", based on Indian Army's surgical strikes across the LoC.
The
film marks the directorial debut of Aditya Dhar and is expected to go
on floors later this year. It will be produced by Ronnie Screwvala's
production arm RSVP.
Yami will play an intelligence officer in
the film while Vicky will be portraying a commander, who leads a group
of paratroopers in the surgical strikes following terror attacks on the
Indian Army camp in Uri in Kashmir.
"Aditya's passion about the
film is infectious and the amount of extensive research he has done is
amazing. I am really thrilled to be part of this film.
"This is
the first time I am playing a role like this. I've been looking to do
roles like this that represent the strength and courage of today's
girls," Yami said in a statement.
The "Kaabil" actor will be next seen in Shree Narayan Singh's "Batti Gul Meter Chaalu", alongside Shahid Kapoor.
