New Delhi | January 18, 2025: Indian actor Vicky Kaushal graced the CNN-News18 Indian of the Year Awards to receive the award in the Youth Icon category.
During a Q&A session with the audience, he revealed how he channelled the intense rage required for his portrayal of the historical figure Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
On asked, “What did it mean for him to get into that character and embody rage for Chhaava?” Vicky responded, “To be honest, when you start discussing an opportunity like Chhaava and when it comes your way, Laxman Utekar is the director of the film, and Dinesh Vijan is the producer of the film, and it’s the same team that I worked with in Zara Hatke Zara Bachke. So Laxman Sir discussed this opportunity with me when we were shooting that film. The first feeling is just, will I be able to do justice to such an incredible legacy? But that’s what excites me the most as well. Also, every opportunity like this, when you get a great man like Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, it is also a beautiful opportunity to understand their culture, their history, their values, their beliefs, and their love for the country.”
