Vicky Kaushal recalls assisting Anurag Kashyap in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’

Vicky Kaushal has recalled assisting legendary filmmaker Anurag Kashyap in hit series Gangs of Wasseypur.

The Raazi star also shared that the blockbuster series was filmed with “very limited resources.”

During his appearance on the IMDb segment, Essential Guide to Vicky Kaushal, Vicky praised the director, “I consider it to be my film school where I got the opportunity to assist Anurag Kashyap on Gangs of Wasseypur. It was a bunch of fantastic actors coming together to do this film.”

He continued, “And it was also a film made with very limited resources. It did not have the vanity of a big-scale Bollywood film. I still carry those learnings with me, it still helps me when I'm performing.”

Vicky Kaushal on shooting ‘Sam Bahadur’:

In the same discussion, Vicky recalled shooting for the upcoming movie, Sam Bahadur.

The Uri: The Surgical Strike star noted, “Every time I would interact with the Indian Army, every time they would be like, ‘we are very happy you're getting to play this role, but you better do a good job because he's our best man and you're playing our best man’.”

Vicky continued, “Most of the dialogues in the film, which sound like these filmy dialogues, are actually said by him, quote, unquote. And I'm just praying that when the film comes out, people feel the tribute that we wish to give to the man, to the legend.”

“During my engineering college days, we were taken to a multinational company. They showed us the work culture post completion of college. That day I knew what I didn’t want to do in life. So, I started asking myself what’s going to make me happy. That’s where I got the answer that once I finish graduation, I am going to become an actor,” Katrina Kaif's husband explained.

Vicky Kaushal's Sam Bahadur stars Sanya Malhotra, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Neeraj Kabi, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub.

The highly-anticipated film will hit theatres on December 1, 2023.
