Vicky Kaushal delivered mega-hits like Uri, Sanju, and Raazi, among others that skyrocketed the expectations of his fans. In less than a decade of being in the film industry, Kaushal has managed to create a fan base of his own, and why not??
Vicky is now gearing up for the release of his next, Sardar Udham, a film based on the real-life story of revolutionary leader Udham Singh, the man who shot Michael O'Dwyer in London to?avenge the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.?
This is one of his most ambitious projects, and there have been several reasons.
Recalling how 'painful' it was to relive and shoot the Jallianwalah massacre. He said,
"The portions where we were trying to recreate the Jallianwala Bagh incident. As an actor, I knew what I was getting into, but I still was not prepared for how numbing that experience would be for me as an individual. The way Shoojit shoots, his scenes are so realistic that you are thrown into that world. After finishing that shoot, there would be times when I wouldn't sleep because I would keep wondering that re-enactment of that incident was so numbing for me, what would have been the impact on the people who had actually witnessed that. This thought made me shiver," Vicky said.
He said, "Nobody can fill his shoes. For me, Irrfan Saab was one of the finest actors in the world. It has been an honor that I have been considered for the same film."
The movie helmed by Shoojit Sircar also stars Banita Sandhu, Amol Parashar, Shaun Scott, Stephen Hogan, Kirsty Averton. The film will stream from October 16 on Prime Video.
