Uri a special film for me: Vicky

Actor Vicky Kaushal says Uri: The Surgical Strike will always remain close to his heart.

“Uri... is a very special film for me and our idea was to give tribute to the Indian Armed Forces. The soldiers give up their today for our tomorrow and no words can signify or repay the sacrifices they make for our country,” Vicky said.

“The way audiences have resonated with the emotion of patriotism, valour and sacrifices of our armed forces has been amazing. As artists, that is the biggest takeaway for us,” added the actor, who was seen as Major Vihaan Singh Shergill in the film.

‘I have never thought that I will come and direct a film like Sadak 2 after 20 years, but you know, I am not intending to call it my second innings or a new beginning as a filmmaker. It just happened. I do not know what tomorrow brings but I am certainly not getting into that phase with lots of scripts where I will keep on directing films.’

Aamir Khan-starrer Laal Singh Chaddha, which is the Hindi remake of Tom Hanks’ 1994 classic Forrest Gump, will release around Christmas in 2020.

Aamir had announced the project on his birthday in March. The actor, who tasted failure with his last film Thugs of Hindostan, said he would be losing around 20 kg for his role in Laal Singh Chaddha. He also shared that he would be sporting a turban for some segments of the movie.

The film, which is expected to go on the floors in October, is written by Atul Kulkarni and will be helmed by Secret Superstar director Advait Chandan.

‘Punished for turning 60’

Singer Madonna has opened up about her fight against ageism in the music industry, saying she is being punished for turning 60.

“People have always been trying to silence me for one reason or another, whether it’s that ‘I’m not pretty enough’, ‘I don’t sing well enough’, ‘I’m not talented enough’, ‘I’m not married enough’, and now it’s that ‘I’m not young enough’. So they just keep trying to find a hook to hang their beef about me being alive on. Now I’m fighting ageism, now I’m being punished for turning 60,” said Madonna, who broke into the music scene in 1982.
