Vicky Kaushal reveals who inspired the character of Major Vihaan in 'Uri: The Surgical Strike'

While we all are praises for Major Vihaan Singh Shergill's character essayed by Vicky Kaushal in 'Uri: The Surgical Strike', nobody knows the person who actually shaped the character of Major Vihaan-Major Prashant Siwach. Vicky Kaushal who has been spending time with the Indian army at the Indo-China border area of Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, has been keeping his fans updated about various activities the actor is doing in Tawang.

He shared a picture of himself with Major Prashant Siwach and revealed that the director of 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' Aditya Dhar would meet and draw references from him to get the behaviour and spirit of a Special Force Commando right to pen Major Vihaan's character. Major Siwach is a Shaurya Chakra awardee along with other gallantry awards.

Earlier, Vicky shared a picture of himself donning Army uniform and taking cooking lessons from the chef of the Army mess and learning the art of making rotis.
