Aditya Dhar's "Uri: The Surgical Strike", starring Vicky Kaushal, is a dramatisation of the Army's operation against terrorist camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in 2016, in retaliation to an attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri that killed 17 Army personnel.

On January 16, Nirmala Sitharaman met the cast and crew of "Uri: The Surgical Strike" on the occasion of Army Day. Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam, director Aditya Dhar and producer Ronnie Screwvala were part of the meeting that took place at Army Chief General Bipin Rawat's 'at home' function.

Sitharaman took to Twitter to congratulate the film's team about which she has been "hearing many good things". "At COAS Bipin Rawat's #ArmyDay 'at home', with the team of the film #URITheSurgicalStrike.

"Yet to watch it, but hearing many good things. Kudos, @RonnieScrewvala @AdityaDharFilms @vickykaushal09 @yamigautam for a slick war movie on the spirit of our heroes! #howsthejosh?," the union minister tweeted, along with some photos from the event.

The actors said they were honoured to make the acquaintance of the minister. "It was an honour meeting you Ma'am," Kaushal wrote in a reply to Sitharaman's post. “We are honoured to meet you Ma'am.... and thanks so much for your encouraging words. What you do for the nation is incomparable," tweeted Gautam.
