Aditya Dhar the director of Uri said, “I am honored with the kind of love and response that Uri has received since its release. As a team, we would often discuss that if we were able to inspire even a single person to join the Defence Services after seeing the film, we would consider the purpose of making Uri served. I hope the movie continues to inspire young Indians to go ahead and dream big.”
