“Most times, it has happened that way. Sometimes, it’s been like, ‘Let me just sleep on this.’ Not many people know this but Uri was something I almost was going to skip. I was shooting for Raazi when I got the script. I got very excited that this was the story that had come to me. After wrapping up a particular day of the shoot, I went home and read the film. I was probably in a tired state of mind, but I took five hours to read the script and wasn’t able to connect with it. Something wasn’t clicking. I almost thought I’d take a few days and call them to tell them that it’s not really (working out),” he said.
