Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just getting started on your Vicky journey, these four titles are the perfect binge to celebrate the man of the moment.
Sam Bahadur
In this Meghna Gulzar directorial, Vicky Kaushal transforms into Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, India’s war hero known for his wit, valor, and unmatched leadership. Sharing the screen with talented co-stars Fatima Sana Shaikh as Indira Gandhi and Sanya Malhotra as Silloo Manekshaw, Vicky delivers a charismatic and commanding performance that brings history alive. The film earned widespread acclaim for its powerful storytelling and stellar ensemble cast.
URI
The film that turned “How’s the josh?” into a national catchphrase, URI showcases Vicky in one of his most physically demanding roles as Major Vihaan Singh Shergill. This action-packed war drama won him the National Award for Best Actor, cementing his position as a leading man.
Raman Raghav 2.0
A bold early role that proved his fearlessness as a performer. In this psychological thriller by Anurag Kashyap, Vicky plays a troubled cop navigating the murky line between good and evil. His gritty portrayal is raw, intense, and unforgettable.
