Yami Gautam has cut her long hair into a short bob hairstyle for her upcoming film Uri and the actor says she jumped at the opportunity to make her character more believable.

"I was extremely excited when the character needed this specific look for the film. We did a few trials and then went ahead with it. I am loving my look, hope audiences love it too," she says.

The Vicky Donor actor also took to Twitter to share her new look and captioned it,

Yami will be seen playing an intelligence officer, alongside actor Vicky Kaushal, in Uri. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, is based on the Uri attack of September 2016. 

On September 18, 2016, terrorists from Pakistan attacked a military base in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir leaving 19 Indian soldiers dead. Eleven days later, the Indian Army retaliated with a series of surgical strikes.

Vicky Kaushal will undergo para-military training for a month to bulk up his physique before starting the shoot.
