EXPECTATIONS PUSH VICKY KAUSHAL TO IMPROVE

Vicky Kaushal is on cloud nine after his films Raazi and Lust Stories receiving a great response from the audience and the actor says the expectations of the people drives him to do something different every time.

Love and care

Vicky was recently seen in Meghna Gulzar’s spy drama and Karan Johar’s film in the Netflix anthology. “Somebody who started in the industry knocking at so many doors and reaching where I have reached today, I feel privileged with every opportunity that I have got. It is a very beautiful feeling when the audience approves of your work. I feel nice when there are expectations from people as that is how you know the audience loves and cares for you and your work. I want them to expect something from me as that pushes me to be a better actor,” the actor said.

He also has two more films up for release, Sanju, the Sanjay Dutt biopic and

Uri, based on Indian Army’s surgical strikes across the LoC. “There are stories that affect, move you. They have their own zing. I get hooked. It is a huge responsibility on you and the director to tell a real-life story,” he says of the reallife based stories.

In biopic zone

In Sanju, Vicky plays Dutt’s friend. Post the release of Masaan, Hirani had approached Vicky for Sanju and he says that it was a “huge positive shock” for him as he was just one film old. After meeting the director, Vicky started working on other films as it was almost a year and there was no response from the director. While he was shooting for Love Per

Square Foot, Hirani called him for the audition. A few days later, when Hirani called the actor to give him a narration, Vicky still was not aware that he had bagged Sanju.

“When he started enacting the scenes in front of me, I started laughing, crying. My excitement to do the film rose a hundred-fold. I asked him, ‘Sir what’s next, how do we take this forward’ and he said, ‘You are part of the film that is why I gave you the narration,” he says.
