Despite being in the middle of Raazi promotions, Vicky Kaushal is undergoing paramilitary training to gain weight and stamina before he starts shooting for Uri in June. The actor will be seen leading a regiment comprising 80 people in the film. "It was essential that I look the part. I don't put on weight easily. I am yet to attain the ideal look. I perform a three-hour military drill daily, which includes jumping and running. To improve my stamina, I learn slithering and undergo obstacle training, besides the most important part of the job — handling a gun," says the Masaan (2015) actor.

Though preparing for the part is physically draining, the actor can't wait for the shoot to commence. "I feel proud to be an actor, because I am part of such a film. From playing a major in the Pakistani army in Raazi to an Indian army commander in Uri, I love the transition," says Kaushal.
