Vicky Kaushal Plays As Udham Singh In Shoojit Sircar's Upcoming Project

Vicky Kaushal’s latest film Uri: The Surgical Strike was a blockbuster at the box office, giving him an excellent start of 2019. Last year was also a successful year with Vicky Kaushal when he played supporting roles in two of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year, Raazi and Sanju. Vicky is now working on the director Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming project, in which he will play the lead role of the famous fighter Udham Singh.

The film Udham Singh is the biopic of a Punjabi revolutionary of the same name. He was known for assassinating the lieutenant governor of Punjab, Michael O’Dwyer, in 1940, as a revenge for the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar.

In a recent interview, the director of the film has talked about choosing Vicky for the lead role. Director Shoojit Sircar complimented Vicky for his bravery in making his decisions and how perfect Vicky is for the part. The director said he was looking for an actor that could play the character with all his heart and soul. Moreover, Vicky is a Punjabi man, which is perfect for a film of a Punjabi hero.

On the other hand, Vicky has always been looking forward to working with director Shoojit Sircar since the early days of his career. He said getting the chance to play a part in this film is like a dream come true. The actor shared with the audience that he admired Shoojit’s way of looking at the stories and how he always depicted the character and the real world extraordinarily and beautifully.

The film will start shooting next month, and its release is expected to be in 2020.
