As the audience looks forward to the upcoming war drama Uri: The Surgical Strike starring Vicky Kaushal in the lead, the makers are leaving no stone unturned to generate the buzz around the film by releasing short and interesting videos. Now with just few days left for the film’s release, we have got our hands on another video which showcases Vicky’s magnificent transformation into Major Vihan Shergill and the intense training he had to undergo to look like an Army officer.

The video begins with Vicky sharing that he has a beautiful problem of not gaining weight and how his team of trainers made sure he does since he had to look bulky for his role. After managing to look like an Army Officer, Vicky then trained in a boot camp and learned how to use the gun, how to crawl with the gun and several other things. Vicky further reveals in the video that he also met soldiers to get a grip of their psyche and understand their journey. Director Aditya Dhar also spoke how the actor left no stones unturned and trained for even 18 hours a day.
