Vicky Kaushal, who will soon be seen in the forthcoming film based on the Uri terrorist attack, shared in social media a glimpse of his preparation for the film. As seen in the trailer, the actor is playing the role of an Indian Army officer for which he was required to gain 15kg weight. The Masaan actor’s trainer, Rakesh Udiyar, made sure he looked a complete Vihaan Singh Shergill, his on-screen character.
