Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam and Varun Dhawan were at Wagah border on Saturday to celebrate the Republic Day with BSF and public that had gathered there. See pictures and videos here.

Actors Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam and Varun Dhawan were at the Wagah border on Saturday as they celebrated Republic Day with a crowd of over 28000 people. Vicky had earlier informed his fans via an Instagram post that he and Uri: The Surgical Strike co-star Yami would be in the temple town of Amritsar, en route to the Attari-Wagah border on Saturday. Later in the evening, he put up more pictures and video from the border.

The actor is on a career high — 2018, in particular, has been a great year for the actor. What began with appreciative nods for his urban take in Love Per Square Foot, soon found favour in his measured and controlled performance in Raazi. He followed it up with a supporting role in Sanju (which many feel overshadowed the main protagonist). Then came Manmarziyaan and Netflix’ Lust Stories and 2019 has started on a high note with Uri.

Connecting with a 28000 crowd, Vicky was clearly in the mood — his Uri anthem, ‘How’s the Josh?’, was ably answered back, with screams of “High, sir” in tandem. In other pictures, shared by him, we see him as he watches the proceedings at the border on a bright and sunny winter afternoon.

Uri: The Surgical Strike is based on India army’s retaliatory attacks on terrorist camps inside Pakistan after the 2016 September attacks on army camp in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir, where 21 soldiers were killed.

Uri has charmed the Indian audience and become the first film in 2019 to breach the Rs 100 crore mark. In fact, as per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film is definitely inching towards the Rs 150 crore (Rs 138.19 crore as on Saturday) mark.

Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan too was at Wagah for Republic Day celebrations. The actor and his group of dancers, wearing camouflage bottoms and BSF-embossed T-shirts, danced to the beats of popular Bollywood song, ‘Suno Gaur Se Duniya Walo Buri Nazar Na Humpe Dalo’. Their military-inspired dance steps matched the fervour around.
