Aditya Dhar's 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' was a turning point for Vicky Kaushal's career. This was the film that transformed Vicky from a critically acclaimed indie actor to a bankable Bollywood star. After around three years of its release, 'Uri' remains one of the finest films of Vicky's career but there was a time when he almost rejected the project. During a recent conversation with Film Companion, Vicky revealed why he wanted to pass on 'Uri'.

The actor also talked about what made him reconsider his decision. He said, "Uri was something I was gonna skip. In the middle of shooting Raazi, I read the film, maybe I was tired, I went to work next day not feeling connected to it." Apparently, it was Vicky's father who made him take up the role.

Vicky said, "My dad found the script & read it. He told me it will be the biggest mistake if I didn't do it. I asked for more time. Read the script again. And got really excited to do it." The decision turned out to be wise as 'Uri' became a massive success and earned around 250 crore rupees on box office.
