After playing intense characters in his last few films, including Raazi (2018), Manmarziyan (2018) and Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019), rising Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal wishes to headline an out-and-out commercial love story. Kaushal next stars in biopics on Udham Singh and Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. Both films are again in a space where the actor will have to play hard-hitting characters.
“I would love to do a romantic film and whenever I get an opportunity, I will do it. Every film has a romantic angle, but at what intensity, I can’t reveal now. But I would like to do it,” Vicky Kaushal told an Indian daily.
Talking about his plans of exploring the digital space further after the success of Lust Stories (2018) and Love Per Square Foot (2018), he said, “Digital platforms are booming and we all are witnessing it. Of course, if there is a good story and setup, and if it works, then I would want to do it. My first love will always be cinema, because the big screen has given me the courage to be an actor. So that will never fade and it’s a great addition to the menu card. If I get something exciting then I will jump into it.”
Apart from biopics on Udham Singh and Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Vicky Kaushal is also doing a horror film with Dharma Production. Titled Bhoot: Part One – The Haunted Ship, the movie also features Bhumi Pednekar in the lead role. Takht will be his second film with Dharma Productions. Also starring Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor, the period drama will be directed by Karan Johar. It releases next year.
