Vicky Kaushal has had an inspiring journey towards fame. The actor, who started his journey as an assistant director in the film Gangs of Wasseypur, has established himself as one of the most popular actors in Bollywood. Recently, his father Sham Kaushal shared in an interview that he had called filmmaker Anurag Kashyap to get the actor to intern under him for his film Gangs of Wasseypur.
Sham Kaushal, a popular stunt coordinator in the industry, sat down for an interview with Friday Talkies and recalled his son’s journey to stardom.
He mentioned that if he made any call or effort to help the Bad News actor in his acting career, it was filmmaker Anurag Kashyap when he asked him to let Vicky Kaushal work as an apprentice under him Was.
He said, “I called Anurag and asked him to give Vicky an apprenticeship. So she (Vicky) took a train to join Anurag. It was here that she learned that nothing is easy.”
Sham Kaushal told that his son worked hard under the leadership of Anurag Kashyap and soon became a part of the second unit. He revealed that the actor was tasked to shoot certain scenes faithfully for more authentic shots for the film, which often led to him being caught by the police.
Despite this, the Sardar Udham actor enjoyed his time and learned many things. The stunt coordinator said, “But it’s fun, that’s how one learns. It’s his journey, and that’s how he’ll learn.”
On the work front, Vicky Kaushal was last seen in Bad News alongside Trupti Dimri and Ammy Virk. He will next be seen in the much-awaited historical drama Chhaava with co-star Rashmika Mandanna. The actor will also be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Love and War.
