Sham Kaushal admits making calls to Anurag Kashyap and asking him to train Vicky Kaushal with Gangs of Wasseypur: ‘It is his journey…’
In a recent interview, Vicky Kaushal's father and stunt coordinator, Sham Kaushal, revealed he called Anurag Kashyap to ask him for an apprenticeship opportunity for the actor. Here's what happened.
Vicky Kaushal's journey from a simple background to fame is inspiring. The actor who began his journey as an assistant director in Gangs of Wasseypur went on to establish himself as one of the most popular actors in Bollywood. Recently, his father, Sham Kaushal shared in an interview that he called filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and asked him to given an apprenticeship opportunity to his son in his next movie Gangs of Wasseypur.
Sham Kaushal, a popular stunt coordinator in the industry, sat down for an interview with Friday Talkies and recalled his son's journey into stardom.
He mentioned that if he made any call or effort to help the Bad Newz actor in his acting career, it was to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap when he asked him to let Vicky Kaushal work as an apprentice under him and learn more about filmmaking and acting.
He said, "I had called Anurag asking him to give Vicky an apprenticeship. So he (Vicky) took a train to join Anurag. It's there where he learned that nothing comes easy."
Sham Kaushal explained that his son worked hard under Anurag Kashyap and soon became a part of the second unit. He revealed that the actor was tasked with candidly shooting some scenes for the film, which often led to them being caught by the police.
Despite that, the Sardar Udham actor enjoyed his time and learned many things. The stunt coordinator said, "But that is fun, that's how one learns. It is his journey, and he will learn that way."
In a previous interview with News18, Vicky recalled when he decided to venture into films, he was determined to work and do ‘good acting’. Given his efforts, he was always selected in the top 2 or 3 during auditions, but things didn't go further when he shared his budget.
After a continuous loop of disappointment, he came to a negotiation where he was ready to work for free, and even pay for the opportunity. Later, the Sam Bahadur actor got his big break with Masaan that brought him attention and led this way to better films.
On the work front, Vicky Kaushal was last seen in Bad Newz, co-starring Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk. He will be next seen in the highly anticipated historical drama Chhaava co-starring Rashmika Mandanna. The actor will also be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love And War.
