Ah, Bollywood! Where drama isn’t just on-screen but behind the scenes as well. Today, let’s chat about our very own Vicky Kaushal, who almost did the unthinkable—saying "nahi bhai" to one of his biggest hits! It seems every blockbuster has its own little backstory, and this one, my dear readers, is no less filmy than the movies themselves.
Kya scene hai? Picture this: Vicky, riding high on the success of Raazi, is handed the script for Uri: The Surgical Strike—a film that would later make him the poster boy of patriotism. Directed by the talented Aditya Dhar, this flick was a fictional take on India’s 2016 retaliation to the Uri attack and boasted a star filled lineup including Yami Gautam, Paresh Rawal, and others. But guess what? Our munda Vicky wasn’t feeling it initially! 😲
In a candid chat, our Vicky baba revealed, "Yaari, I was this close to saying ‘no’ to Uri. I read it while shooting for Raazi and just didn’t vibe with it." Imagine, folks, a world where Vicky wasn’t Major Vihaan Shergill! But wait, enter Papa Kaushal, the real-life hero in this tale. Sham Kaushal, Vicky’s dad, gave the script a dekko and was like, "Beta, this is it. Don’t be a fool. Do this film!" And like a good son, Vicky gave it another shot. Thank God for wise dads, right? 😊
And what happened next? Uri went on to rake in a whopping ₹244.06 crores! Not just a box office dhamaka, but also a film that solidified Vicky Kaushal’s place in Bollywood’s hall of fame. Today, Vicky is flying high with Chhaava and has more masala lined up with Love & War, featuring the jodi of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. Talk about being on a roll!
Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood ka funda simple hai, doston—never underestimate the power of a good script and a dad’s advice. Because sometimes saying yes to the right film can be the ultimate surgical strike on your career! 🕶️
