Vicky Kaushal starrer Uri - The Surgical Strike turned a surprise blockbuster at the box office. The film not just made history but also won several hearts. Especially the dialogue of the film, 'How's The Josh?'. There was the time when the whole film industry and even political corridors were just saying one line, 'How's The Josh?'.

However, now the director of the film, Aditya Dhar who made this amazing piece of cinema recalled the incident where Vicky Kaushal didn't like the line 'How's The Josh?'. According to Aditya Dhar, the actor wanted to have a chance in the line as he felt the feel was not coming through it.

 

TimesNow quoted director Dhar by saying, "We first shot the line 'How's the josh?' during the Myanmar sequence. Two minutes before the camera rolled, Vicky came to me and asked me to change the line because he thought somewhere the 'feel' was not coming. I tried to explain that to motivate their team, army commanders talk like that, so let's give it a try."

"I still remember when Vicky said that line for the first time, 30 members of our team had goosebumps on hearing it," the director told in a conversation with screenplay writer Robin Bhatt in a programme "Wartalaap".

It’s not just a line anymore... I get so many “How’s the Josh?!” videos from you all everyday, each one made with so much love and passion, from schools, colleges, cafes, work places... from people fighting the cold in minus temperatures to people sweating it out in the gym... from conference meetings to marriage ceremonies... from a 92 years old grandmother to a 2 years old kid... from even our Jawaans in the armed forces. It’s not just a line anymore, you all have turned it into an emotion... an emotion so strong and special, I’m going to cherish for life. Thank You everyone. इस प्यार और सम्मान के लिए तहे दिल से शुक्रिया। ❤️🙏

The director also revealed when he was writing the script part of the film, he was into the writing of Vihaan's lines and at that time he didn't realize that just one line 'How's The Josh?' will become a national line.
