Nowadays, TV celebs are being taken onboard by big banners
for a Bollywood project. In August, it will be Tv's Naagin Mouni Roy who will
be making her debut with Gold and now beau Mohit Raina will be making his big
Bollywood debut with Uri. Mohit who shot to fame with his role as Mahadev in
the mythological show, Devon Ke Dev - Mahadev.
In Uri, Mohit will be seen essaying the role of an Indian
Army Officer. Set in Jammu and Kashmir, the film will rotate around the 2016
Uri attack which had left 19 Indian soldiers dead. Following this deadly
attack, the Indian army retaliated with a series of surgical strikes across the
borders.
Mohit essayed an Indian army officer in his last TV show as
well. When a daily questioned Mohit on the same, he revealed, “It was my dream
to join the Indian Army. Since that never got fulfilled, I make up for it by
playing a soldier whenever I get a chance. Also, I have always taken up
challenging roles on television. So, though I love commercial films, I wanted
something different for my film debut as well. Uri has actors like Vicky
Kaushal and Paresh Rawal, and it will be a learning experience working with
them. Whether it is mythology, history or any other genre, the role has to be
backed by strong content.”
On Uri attack, Mohit further added, “Nation always comes
first, and I feel that it is a great opportunity to be part of a film that
portrays the incident.”
