“After 400 auditions, Vicky was finalised for Zubaan”
Says filmmaker Mozez Singh about his discovery, Vicky Kaushal, who’s garnering praises for his latest release, Masaan. Director Neeraj Ghaywan’s latest release, Masaan starring Richa Chaddha and Vicky Kaushal has received warm response and encouraging feedback from Bollywood denizens and trade pundits. Both Vicky and Richa who have been paired opposite for the first time in the award winning and internationally-lauded film Masaan have also been applauded for their stupendous performances.
In fact, few acclaimed critics while praising Vicky and the movie has mentioned about the talented actor being ‘Find of the year’. Not many are aware that Vicky was initially signed by debutant director Mozez Singh for his coming-of-age musical Zubaan and that the young actor is his discovery.
A telecommunications engineering student, Vicky always nurtured the dream of becoming an actor and after complete his studies he assisted Anurag Kashyap on The Gangs Of Wasseypur series, and then landed his first starring role in a short film, Geek Out. The shorts producer Guneet Monga (of The Lunchbox fame) showed it to Mozez, who was on the lookout for the next big thing to star in Zubaan that will re-define the genre in India. Equipped with charisma, amazing screen presence and a killer audition, Vicky bagged the role in Zubaan.
