In a candid revelation, Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal recently opened up about his journey in the film industry, touching upon his self-proclaimed ‘worst performance’ and his upcoming role in the highly anticipated film, “Sam Bahadur.”
The Role He Wishes To Redo: Raman Raghav 2.0
Kaushal, known for his dynamic range and emotive performances, admitted to Indian Express that his portrayal in Anurag Kashyap’s crime-thriller, “Raman Raghav 2.0,” was, in his view, his least impressive work. Co-starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sobhita Dhulipala, the film presented a dark narrative that Kaushal felt he couldn’t fully embody at that stage of his life. He expressed a desire to revisit the role every five years, believing that his evolving life experiences would enhance his portrayal.
From Audition Struggles to Stubborn Confidence
Reflecting on his early days, Kaushal shared how post-graduation, he faced challenges in auditions, encountering skepticism about his fit for roles. However, it was his stubbornness and love for acting that fortified his resolve. This determination, he believes, was pivotal in shaping his successful career, marked by significant roles and acclaim, particularly following his breakthrough in “Masaan.”
Embracing the Role of Sam Bahadur
Looking ahead, Kaushal is set to captivate audiences as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in Meghna Gulzar’s “Sam Bahadur.” Joining him are Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh, portraying Manekshaw’s wife Silloo and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, respectively. Produced by RSVP Movies, the film is scheduled for a December 1 release, promising to add another feather to Kaushal’s already illustrious cap.
A Star’s Humble Reflections
Vicky Kaushal’s journey is not just about his successes but also his willingness to introspect and learn from every role. His candid discussion about his career trajectory and aspirations for future roles like in “Sam Bahadur” offers a glimpse into the mindset of one of Bollywood’s most beloved actors, continually striving for excellence.
