About the film and Vicky’s prep
The movie is directed by Laxman Utekar.
In a recent interview with ANI, Vicky Kaushal admitted that this role was unlike any other, calling it his “toughest role” yet. The actor had to go through immense physical and mental preparation to embody the historical figure, both in terms of his appearance and his understanding of the era.
“Playing such a historical figure requires a lot of discipline, and discipline is tough. If you are not used to discipline, where I was, it becomes very challenging because it’s not just a one-month commitment; it’s a commitment for one and a half to two years,” Vicky said.
