Ronnie Screwvala the man behind the film says. “Uri was made to instil a sense of pride in the hearts of every single Indian and to highlight the incredible service of the armed forces for our nation. I am honoured to be a part of this initiative where URI will be showcased across 500 locations in the great state of Maharashtra on Kargil Vijay diwas.. A day that marks a great victory for the Indian armed forces”
“During the shoot of URI, my team and I would often discuss that If We are able to inspire even a single person to Join The Defence Services we would consider the purpose of making Uri served!! Today we are flooded with so many messages, calls and e-mails from young indians who were inspired by the film and decided to join Our Armed Forces. 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. I am deeply honoured that URI is becoming a part of the Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrations on 26th July. It’s a wonderful initiative by our Honourable Chief Minister Devendra Fadanavis Sir to showcase the film in 500 locations across Maharashtra.” Adds Aditya Dhar the director.
