The movie, which is yet to get a title, will be shot all over India and is expected to hit the screens in mid-2020.
The Raazi actor too shared the news on his Instagram story. He wrote, “Up next, by Team URI!”
Earlier, Aditya had told IANS in an interview that at one point during the shoot, he was about to change the line following a suggestion from Vicky.
Recalling the incident, Dhar said: “We first shot the line ‘How’s the josh?’ during the Myanmar sequence. Two minutes before the camera rolled, Vicky came to me and asked me to change the line because he thought somewhere the ‘feel’ was not coming. I tried to explain that to motivate their team, army commanders talk like that, so let’s give it a try. I still remember when Vicky said that line for the first time, 30 members of our team had goosebumps on hearing it.”
