Vicky Kaushal is a performer who has consistently upheld his reputation on the big screen. Vicky will do his very best in any role you offer him. In Uri: The Surgical Strike, the actor’s commitment to really embodying a role frequently astounds viewers. Vicky is now making waves for his forthcoming film Sam Bahadur after delivering hits like Raazi, Sanju, Manmarziyaan, etc. Vicky has started working on the project, which is based on the life of Sam Manekshaw, the Chief of the Army Staff of the Indian Army during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.
Vicky will be seen in the movie as Sam Manekshaw, for those who are unfamiliar. And now the actor has shared a photo of himself posing with Jehan, Sam Manekshaw’s grandson. Vicky was stylish in the photo wearing a checkered shirt and tattered jeans. He had captioned the image as, “Enjoying the insightful sessions with @jehanmanekshaw”. Vicky was surely charming in his casual attire.
Sam Bahadur, directed by Meghna Gulzar, also features Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh in the key roles. According to rumours, Sanya would portray Sam Manekshaw’s wife Siloo Manekshaw. Making the announcement a few months ago, Sanya had said, “Behind every successful man is a strong independent woman who supports him in all his endeavours. It’s with great honour that I get to play one such woman, Silloo Manekshaw, the wife of India’s first Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. Cannot wait to begin this journey with Meghna ma’am, Vicky, Fatima & @rsvpmovies!”
Fatima will portray former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. According to recent reports, Fatima started getting ready for the movie some long back. A source close to the actress had earlier revealed, “Fatima has been reading several books on Indira Gandhi to understand her better and get an idea of her regime as the Prime Minister. She also has got her hands on various documentaries to get the nuances and mannerisms of her character right. It is a responsible role and Fatima wants to do full justice to it.”
In addition to Sam Bahadur, Vicky has several intriguing films in development, including Govinda Naam Mera, directed by Shashank Khaitan and starring Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani, and a film by Laxman Utekar with Sara Ali Khan.
