Actor Vicky Kaushal, who is all geared up for the release of the upcoming biopic Sam Bahadur, which is based on the legendary Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, shared that if he gets the Oscar for the movie, he will dedicate it to the Indian Army.
Vicky enjoys 16.4 million followers on Instagram and is quite active in sharing his day-to-day updates with his fans.
He recently did an “Ask Away” session with his fans for Sam Bahadur. One fan asked: “Whom will you dedicate the Oscar or Filmfare to if you got for Sam Bahadur?” Replying with a still from the movie, Vicky wrote: “To the Indian Army.”
Another fan asked: “Describe your character ‘SAM’.” The actor said: “Rab ka banda hai yeh... Sabka banda hai yeh!” A fan from Nepal asked the Raazi actor: “How was the experience learning about Gurkha's history?” Vicky said: “Inspiring and truly motivating!”
“What would you ask Sam, if you had a chance to meet him in person?” Vicky replied: “I'll be absolutely starstruck and speechless. Dil mein kahunga... SAM is finally here!" Vicky also revealed that it was his toughest role to date.
Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film is produced by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP films. While Vicky plays Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in the film, it also features Fatima Sana Shaikh as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Sanya Malhotra as Sam’s wife Siloo.
The film marks Meghna's second collaboration with Vicky after Raazi (2018) which starred Alia Bhatt in the lead. Sam Manekshaw was the first soldier in the Indian Army to be promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. He is credited for India’s victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war, which led to the creation of Bangladesh.
Bhavani Iyer has penned the film’s script along with Meghna's father, the celebrated writer and poet Gulzar and Shantanu Srivastava.
