Anurag Kashyap just asked me to dive into my character; it's my alter ego

For Vicky Kaushal, 2018 has turned out to be a great year, he’s riding high on the success of both his theatrical releases – Raazi and Sanju, as well as both his Netflix releases – Lover Per Square Foot and Lust Stories. In just the third year of his career, the actor is getting a lot of appreciation from all quarters. Getting recognition for his performances for both his feature films despite not being in the lead, Vicky, who started off with impressive unconventional roles in movies like Masaan and Raman Raghav 2.0, says, “I am not the one who would sit down to calculate, I only believe in being part of great stories that connect with people. There are no small parts.”he continues, “It feels very surreal and overwhelming. My mom tells me, as a parent I am very happy, I can’t keep my feet on the ground, how do you feel? I tell her that I feel very normal. Just that there are moments when I want to scream with open arms. I want to release that happiness. When you are alone in your bedroom, or driving in a car you just feel like shouting. I am trying to figure out what kind of space I am in but whatever it is, it is a good space.” But the biggest moment for Vicky was when his father, well-known action director, Sham Kaushal was introduced (in London) to three people as Vicky Kaushal’s father. “That was the moment of my year. That is how I can describe my 2018. Unexpectedly, somebody gave me a big compliment,” he says.
