Bollywood’s newbie Vicky Kaushal has captivated the viewers
with his acts in Netflix special movies Love Per Square Foot, Lust Stories and movies
like Raazi and Sanju.
His act as Kamli in film Sanju is considered one of his best
acts till date. In a chat with a daily, Vicky Kaushal was asked how did the
role of Kamli come to him. He replied, "Before I began shooting for Love
Per Square Foot, Rajkumar Hirani called me to his office. He’d seen Masaan and
liked my performance. He told me about a film he was working on and about a
friend of the lead. He wasn’t sure if I was going to be the right fit, but
honestly, it didn’t matter — I was happy to be considered for a part. A year
went by and I was asked to screen test for Kamli’s part. I auditioned, and it
was the drunk scene with Paresh Rawal, and it was done in such a hurry, I wasn’t
sure it was good enough."
Vicky Kaushal is being called the 'character actor' along
with a lead actor he plays in his films. On this, he told, "Yes, that’s
right. I have never looked at a role in terms of how much screen time I’ll get,
but in terms of what is the arc of this character, where does he fit into the
scheme of things. I realised this after Masaan — the hero of any film is the
story. That’s what makes any actor in any capacity the hero. If the audience
takes the story back home, then they’re likely to take the characters as
well,"
Vicky Kaushal is presently busy shooting for his film Uri.
