The film’s business has been affected by the release of Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer ‘Thackeray‘ and Kangana Ranaut starrer ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi‘ last week.
Aditya Dhar directorial has been financed by Ronnie Screwvala and it stars Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam, Mohit Raina, Paresh Rawal, and Kirti Kulhari.
The film is based on the surgical strike carried out on September 29, 2016, by the Indian Army in answer to the Uri terror attack which killed 19 unarmed army men. The strike destroyed several terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control and killed around 50 terrorists.
