Prior to the release of Dhurandhar 2, there were reports of Vicky making a special appearance in the film as Vihaan Shergill, his Uri – The Surgical Strike’s character.

In the latter, Vicky’s character, Vihaan, meets Indian Air Force pilot – Flight Lieutenant Seerat Kaur, whose army officer husband is martyred in an ambush. Now, in a viral clip, Kirti Kulhari, who plays Seerat in Uri – The Surgical Strike, reveals her husband’s name. The martyred officer is named Jaskirat Singh Rangi. He belonged to the Punjab regiment and lost his life during the Naushera Sector ambush. However, the speculation was not true.
