Before making a fantastic debut in 2015's Masaan, Vicky Kaushal assisted Anurag Kashyap in Gangs of Wasseypur. Since then, Kaushal has starred in the critically acclaimed Raazi, Raman Raghav 2.0 and his performance in Sanju was praised widely even though the film was panned. Both Raazi and Sanju went on to become two of 2018's highest grossing movies. He also struck gold on the OTT front with Lust Stories and Love Per Square Foot but his biggest success to date came this year when he played Major Vihaan Singh Shergill in Uri: The Surgical Strike. His performance won him a National Film Award for Best Actor and the film went on to make an estimated 342 crore at the box office. Through the course of his career, Kaushal has proved that you don't need to make trashy films to be billed as a top actor — a fact that he is proving right along with his contemporaries. He’s already accomplished so much in such a short time, but something tells us that Vicky Kaushal is just starting out.
I want to start off by congratulating you on a fantastic 2019. I just want to ask: did you expect Uri to do so well?
