Ahead of the launch of the much-awaited trailer on 5th December, the makers of the forthcoming Hindi movie Uri: The Surgical Strike have dropped the first look of actress Yami Gautam who essays an important role in the flick.
Gautam, who was most recently seen in Shree Narayan Singh’s social drama Batti Gul Meter Chalu (2018), plays an intelligent officer in Uri. In her first look from the movie, the actress is seen in a grey pantsuit and blue shirt. She sports a short hairdo.
As the title suggests itself, Uri: The Surgical Strike chronicles the events of the deadly attack conducted by the Indian military against the militants in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) as retaliation for the Uri attack.
Apart from Yami Gautam, the action entertainer also stars Vicky Kaushal, Paresh Rawal, Kirti Kulhari and Mohit Raina in significant roles.
Written and directed by debutant Aditya Dhar, Uri: The Surgical Strike is bankrolled by Ronnie Screwvala.
The film is slated to hit the big screen on 11 January, 2019.
The singer jokingly texted Clairo saying, "Let's f**k her up," sparking an online frenzy
Why Charli XCX jokingly declared war on Peppa Pig after one viral comment
Highlights
What started as a playful celebrity game has turned into one of the internet's most unexpected viral moments, with Charli XCX jokingly threatening to "f**k up" Peppa Pig after the beloved cartoon character appeared to dismiss singer Clairo.
The exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow musicians, while turning an unlikely clash between a pop star and a fictional children's character into a trending talking point.
Peppa Pig's viral remark sparked the joke
The playful exchange began during Peppa Pig's appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under game, where the animated character rated a selection of music artists.
While expressing admiration for acts including PinkPantheress and The Beatles, Peppa responded to Clairo by saying, "I don't know her," a line widely recognised as a reference to Mariah Carey's famous response when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
The remark, accompanied by a knowing glance at the camera, quickly gained traction online.
Charli XCX rushed to Clairo's defence
After seeing the clip, Charli XCX privately messaged Clairo, writing, "Let's f**k her up," alongside a screenshot of the viral post.
Clairo later shared the exchange on social media, prompting thousands of reactions from fans, many of whom responded with pig and bacon-themed jokes.
PinkPantheress, whom Peppa had praised in the original video, also joined the conversation, posting a message supporting Clairo.
As the exchange continued, Clairo responded to the growing attention with humour, replying to posts before eventually telling followers, "ok that's enoughhhhh lolllllllllll."
Some fans joked that the viral moment was the perfect opportunity for the singer to announce new music, though Clairo replied that she did not have anything ready to share.
Her most recent album, Charm, was released in 2024, with its accompanying tour concluding in 2025.
Charli XCX keeps her focus on new music
While the online joke continued to gather momentum, Charli XCX did not publicly add to the exchange.
Instead, the singer has been focusing on promoting her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, which is scheduled for release on July 24.
Although fans speculated that one of the track titles could be a playful nod to the viral exchange, there has been no indication that the album references the light-hearted social media moment.
