Difference between Avrodh and Uri?

After Uri: The Surgical Strike became a blockbuster, now the surgical strike is coming again, but in a different format, a web series. Amit Sadh is the one who leads this surgical strike, as Major Videep in the Sony Liv show Avrodh: The Seige Within.

Comparison with Uri: The Surgical Strike is inevitable, and when asked about it in a recent interview with a news portal, Amit said that that he was a ‘huge fan’ of Vicky Kausal, who had played the head of the operation in the film. Hailing Uri: The Surgical Strike as a ‘great film’, he added that the movie was made for a ‘certain aspiration and documentation’ of the facts related to the event. 

However, he clarified that Avrodh was a series and hence longer and detailed. Being based on the book, India’s Most Fearless, Amit stated that they were trying to showcase an elaborated version of the event. The Sultan actor added that he would be happy if Vicky watches Avrodh and was keen to know what he feels about it.
