Mumbai: Vicky Kaushal told what he had done to get his first film ‘Masaan’. The actor has revealed that he was not the first choice for the film. Reliving old memories, Vicky said, ‘It was in 2010, when I wanted to become an actor and Neeraj Ghevan wanted to direct. We both started our journey together as assistant directors in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’.
Vicky further says, ‘After this, I started doing theater to enhance my acting skills. In 2013, we met again during a trip to Pune and we started talking about life and work. During the conversation, I came to know that he is making a film and is looking for a producer, but is struggling in it. Then he told that he has made a promo on the film with Rajkumar Rao. Due to the low budget of ‘Masaan’, they could not make the fair, but had to wait for the actual shooting.
The fair in Banaras usually takes place in the month of October and Rajkumar had some date issues, so there was a vacancy for that role and I jumped straight in to audition for it. Finally, I was selected for that role.
Vicky recalled how during the shooting of a scene, he started crying. The actor says, I cried a lot in the dialogue scene of ‘Yeh dukh kahein nahi hota’. I didn’t want to cry, but somehow, I cried and screamed.’ Vicky is visiting the sets of comedy-based reality series ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ along with Kiara Advani, Renuka Sahane, Viraj Ghelani and director Shashank Khaitan to promote his film ‘Govinda Naam Mera’. ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ airs on Sony Entertainment Television.
