After chasing his dream with conviction and staunch perseverance at 31, our cover boy Vicky Kaushal is at a good place in his career. It’s been the start of an incredible year in 2019 with his breakthrough and larger than life persona in Uri which didn’t just strike a chord in the box office rather marked the making of a super star in the industry. But we would be lying if we say that we didn’t see the actor had worked his smouldering way almost about 4 years ago through his cinematic debut in Masaan. The fans have only witnessed cerebral craft considering his work with India’s finest filmmakers like Rajkumar Hirani in Sanju, Meghna Gulzar in Raazi or Anurag Kashyap in Manmarziyaan.
Your journey from Masaan to Uri of four years in the industry has seen the rise of a maverick star, how do you recall the feeling when you looked at yourself on the screen for the first time?
VICKY: The first time I saw myself on the screen was for a film called Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana that I had done much before Masaan. It was just a cameo; a small part where I was in the film for about 2-3 scenes. That was the first time I saw myself on the big screen. And it was awkward (laughs). You’re highly critical when you’re watching your own work. I never watch my video interviews. I can watch my work or me playing another character but watching me talk about myself? I can’t. That is a very weird feeling. The first time I watched myself on the big screen I had gone there with my family and it was not an industry screening, it was a ticketed show that we went for. So it was special.
Do you remember your first audition? What was that like?
