Vicky Kaushal is undoubtedly one of the most popular stars in Bollywood. He started his career with a bang in the critically acclaimed Masaan (2015) and has since impressed audiences with his versatility. However, before becoming an actor, Vicky was an assistant director and worked on films like Gangs Of Wasseypur. In a recent conversation, Vicky’s father, noted action director Sham Kaushal, recalled asking Anurag Kashyap to hire Vicky.
“If I ever called for him, it was during that time. I had called Anurag (Kashyap) and asked if he would give Vicky an internship. So he (Vicky) took a train to join Anurag. There he learned that nothing is easy. He worked very hard and became part of the second unit and they had to shoot openly for which they were often caught (by the police). But that’s fun, you learn from it. It is his journey, that is how he will learn,” Sham said while speaking to Friday Talkies.
Vicky Kaushal ventured into Bollywood as an assistant director for this 2012 film and hasn’t looked back since. Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna will soon share screen space together for a unique historical drama ‘Chhava’. In the film, Vicky will be playing the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, while Rashmika Mandanna will be essaying the role of Yesubai Bhonsale. While fans are eagerly waiting to watch their favorite stars in an intense period drama, Vicky Kaushal recently announced that he has wrapped up the shooting of the film.
The film also stars Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana and Divya Dutta in lead roles. According to a report by Pinkvilla, actor Neil Bhoopalam has also been roped in to portray the character of a Mughal prince in the film. Chaava marks the second collaboration between Vicky Kaushal and director Laxman Utekar, after Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.
Besides Chaava, Vicky Kaushal has a stunning array of projects in his kitty. He will star in the comedy-drama Mr. Lele from director Shashank Khaitan, alongside Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar. Moreover, he will appear in Rajkumar Santoshi’s upcoming film Lahore 1947, which also stars Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol. Vicky also has Karan Johar’s next untitled production venture alongside Tripti Dimri and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ‘Love & War’, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
