Vicky Kaushal who rose to fame for his act in Masaan (2015), will now be seen playing the lead opposite Alia Bhatt in Meghna Gulzar's upcoming film 'Raazi'. Further, the actor has gained rave reviews for his portrayal of a Pakistani Military officer in the trailer of the film.
In a recent interview with us, Vicky spoke about the preparation of the film, his experience with working the two women on this film - Meghna and Alia and much more!
When asked if playing a Pakistani officer adds any extra pressure? To which he responded stating, "You feel a sense of responsibility when you are part of a film that is based on a true story. There is no pressure though. Raazi is not a quintessential India-Pakistan war film, it is much deeper. No individual wants war, but officers have a duty to do. The beauty of such a film is that on one hand you have two nations at war, but on the other hand, there is an Indian Kashmiri girl getting married to a Pakistani boy. What I liked about Iqbal is that he's not your quintessential Pakistani soldier. Being a Pakistani in an Indian film is usually considered negative, but this film breaks that stereotype. Leave aside his nationality, but see the individual behind the uniform. You will know once you see the film".
Vicky revealed how surreal it was working with Alia and also revealed how he and the team discovered this clumsy quality of Alia. Speaking of the same, he joked, "Alia is the most accident-prone person I've ever come across. On the sets, if you heard any 'ooh, aah, ouch', it was given that Alia had hurt herself".
When we asked Alia about the same, she was quick to agree with Vicky and further revealed, "I have had so many injuries in my life. I have torn my calf muscle, ankle, I even tore a gluteal muscle (if that's possible). I injured my shoulder during Brahmastra, I hurt my back. I think only my thumb is left to be hurt".
No wonder it would have been a crazy time for the crew on the sets of Raazi. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, this period thriller film is slated to release on 11th May 2018.
