Vicky Kaushal (pronounced [ˈʋɪkːi ˈkɔːʃəl]; born 16 May 1988) is an Indian actor who works in Hindi films. He is the recipient of a National Film Award for Best Actor and a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor, and has appeared in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list of 2019.

Born to the action director Sham Kaushal and Veena Kaushal, Vicky pursued an engineering degree from the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology. Aspiring to take up a career in film, he assisted Anurag Kashyap in the crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) and went on to play minor roles in two of Kashyap's productions. His first leading role was in the independent drama Masaan (2015), which earned him the IIFA and Screen Awards for Best Male Debut, following which he starred as an unhinged cop in Kashyap's psychological thriller Raman Raghav 2.0 (2016).

Kaushal rose to prominence in 2018 with supporting roles in Raazi and Sanju, two of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year. For the latter, he won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. His 2018 projects also included starring roles in the Netflix films Love per Square Foot and Lust Stories. The following year, he played the lead role of a military officer in both critically acclaimed and commercially successful action film Uri: The Surgical Strike, winning the National Film Award for Best Actor, in addition to a Filmfare Award for Best Actor nomination.

Life and career

Early life and work (1988–2016)

Kaushal was born on 16 May 1988 in a suburban chawl in Mumbai to Sham Kaushal, a stuntman and subsequent action director in Hindi films and Veena Kaushal.[2][3][4] His younger brother, Sunny, is also an actor.[5] His family is Punjabi Hindu.[6] Kaushal has described himself as a "regular kid who was interested in studying, playing cricket and watching movies".[3] His parents were keen on their son having a stable career and thus, Kaushal pursued an engineering degree in electronics and telecommunications from Mumbai's Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology.[7] During an industrial visit to an IT company, he realised that an office job would be unsuitable for him and began aspiring to have a career in film. He briefly took on an engineering job and began accompanying his father to film sets.[3][7]

He studied acting at Kishore Namit Kapoor's academy and worked as an assistant director to Anurag Kashyap in the two-part crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur (2012).[7][8] Kaushal has described fond memories of working with Kashyap, whom he considers as his mentor.[9] He also began working on stage with his first acting job in Manav Kaul's production of Laal Pencil.[7] In film, Kaushal played minor roles in Kashyap's productions Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana (2012) and Bombay Velvet (2015), and the experimental short film Geek Out (2013).[7][10]

Kaushal and Shweta Tripathi, his co-star in Masaan (2015)

Kaushal played his first leading role in the independent drama Masaan (2015), directed by Neeraj Ghaywan. Kaushal and Ghaywan were both assistants on Gangs of Wasseypur, and he was cast in the film after Rajkummar Rao backed out.[11] To play a young man from a low socio-economic class yearning for a better life, Kaushal spent time in Benaras, where the film is set, and observed the mannerisms of local men.[12] The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard segment at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, where it won two awards, including the FIPRESCI Prize.[13] Masaan earned critical acclaim and The New York Times considered it to be a leading example of increased realism in Indian cinema.[14][15] Nikhil Taneja of HuffPost termed Kaushal's performance "poignant and memorable" and Anuj Kumar of The Hindu wrote that "he effortlessly conveys both the inferiority complex and the attitude of breaking through the caste cauldron".[16][17] His performance won him the IIFA and Screen Awards for Best Male Debut, and a nomination for the Asian Film Award for Best Newcomer, among other accolades.[18][19][20]

The 2015 Busan International Film Festival marked the release of the drama Zubaan, which Kaushal had filmed before Masaan.[6] His role was that of a grieving man who starts stammering after the death of his father. He worked with a speech therapist to learn stammering patterns and spent time with some of the doctor's patients. After completing work on the film, Kaushal found it difficult to distance from the character and began to stammer in real life.[12] His performance led Justin Chang of Variety to label him as a "charismatic, naturally engaging talent".[21] In Kashyap's psychological thriller Raman Raghav 2.0 (2016), Kaushal played a drug-addicted police officer in pursuit of a serial killer portrayed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui.[6] The troubled and unbalanced character had little in common with Kaushal's own personality, and to convince Kashyap to cast him, he lived in isolation for five days and kept repeating lines from the script.[9] Writing for Rediff.com, Aseem Chhabra found his performance "brave" and added, "If there is one big surprise in Raman Raghav 2.0, it is Vicky Kaushal’s star-making performance."[22] Both Zubaan and Raman Raghav 2.0 failed to find a wide audience at the box office.[23]

Breakthrough (2018–present)

Kaushal achieved his breakthrough in 2018.[24] He was first seen as the male lead of the romantic comedy Love per Square Foot, India's first Netflix original film.[25] Shweta Ramakrishnan of Firstpost considered the chemistry between Kaushal and his co-star Angira Dhar to be the film's highlight.[26] He next featured in Meghna Gulzar's spy thriller Raazi (2018), based on Harinder Sikka's novel Calling Sehmat. Set during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the film tells the real-life story of a young Indian girl from Kashmir (played by Alia Bhatt) who marries a Pakistani army officer (Kaushal) to spy for Indian intelligence. He was drawn to the humanity he found in the story and worked towards conveying both vulnerability and authoritative strength in his character.[27] The film emerged as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films featuring a female protagonist and Meena Iyer of Daily News and Analysis commended Kaushal for being "the correct foil" to Bhatt's character.[28][29] His second Netflix production of the year was the anthology film Lust Stories. It consists of four short films dealing with female sexuality; Kaushal was seen in Karan Johar's segment as a newly married man who fails to recognise his wife's (played by Kiara Advani) sexual dissatisfaction.[30]

Kaushal's biggest commercial success of 2018 came with Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju, a biopic of the troubled actor Sanjay Dutt, who was portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor in the film. Kaushal played his best friend Kamli, a fictionalised amalgamation of various real-life friends of Dutt.[31] In preparation, he spent time with Paresh Ghelani, who served as the primary inspiration for the role.[31] Rachit Gupta from The Times of India considered Kaushal's work to be "one of the finest performances in the film" and Samrudhi Ghosh of India Today wrote that he "holds his own against Ranbir’s superlative performance, and shines in the funny as well as emotional scenes".[32][33] Both Raazi and Sanju proved to be among the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2018, and with earnings of over 5.79 billion (US$69 million), the latter ranks among Indian cinema's biggest grossers.[34][35] In his final release of the year, Kaushal reunited with Kashyap for Manmarziyaan, a love triangle set in Punjab, co-starring Taapsee Pannu and Abhishek Bachchan.[36] Anupama Chopra took note of how well he used silences to convey his character's pain and desire.[37] For Sanju, Kaushal won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor (tied with Gajraj Rao for Badhaai Ho).[38]

In 2019, Kaushal starred as a military officer in Uri: The Surgical Strike, an action film based on the 2016 Uri attack, directed by Aditya Dhar and filmed in Serbia. To prepare, he gained muscle weight, practised a ketogenic diet, and underwent five months of military training and mixed martial arts sessions.[39][40] He injured his arm while filming an action sequence in it.[41] Uday Bhatia of Mint found Kaushal to be a "fetching stoic lead" but bemoaned the lack of depth in his character.[42] Rajeev Masand took note of the film's jingoism and criticised the over-the-top characterisations, but opined that Kaushal "brings both the bulked-up physicality and the sort of steely determination that the part requires".[43] Uri earned 2.4 billion (US$29 million) in India, and over 3.5 billion (US$42 million) worldwide, making it the tenth highest-grossing Indian film domestically.[44][45] Kaushal was awarded with the National Film Award for Best Actor (shared with Ayushmann Khurrana for Andhadhun) and received a Filmfare Award for Best Actor nomination.[46]

A year later, Kaushal featured in the horror film Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship (2020), produced by Karan Johar.[47] He suffered an accident during the filming of an action sequence when he fractured his cheekbone.[48] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV found Kaushal to be "earnest" in a film he considered to be a "horrific misfire".[49] Vicky played Sardar Udham Singh in Shoojit Sircar's Sardar Udham which released on Amazon Prime Video on 16 October 2021. It is based on the life of Sardar Udham Singh, a revolutionary freedom fighter best known for assassinating Michael O'Dwyer in London to take revenge for 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar. The film received widespread critical acclaim, particularly at Kaushal's performance with Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV calling it his best performance to date.[50] Subhash K Jha of Firstpost shared the same opinion, adding "Kaushal’s Udham Singh is a performance laced with grace, tinged with bitterness, and defined by a dormant rage".[51]

Upcoming projects

Kaushal completed shooting in 2021 on Vijay Krishna Acharya's family comedy drama, The Great Indian Family, with Manushi Chhillar.[52] He will be seen playing the title role in Shashank Khaitan's comedy film Govinda Naam Mera, to be released in June 2022.[53] As of December 2021, he has started filming for director Laxman Utekar's untitled next co-staring Sara Ali Khan.[54]

Kaushal also announced his second collaboration with Gulzar, the war drama Sam Bahadur where he will play Field marshal Sam Manekshaw.[55] Kaushal has also committed to playing Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in Karan Johar's historical drama Takht, featuring an ensemble cast including Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Ranveer Singh which was set to release initially in March 2020 but was delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic.[56][57]

He is additionally set to reteam with Aditya Dhar in the mythological based superhero movie The Immortal Ashwatthama opposite Sara Ali Khan portraying Ashwatthama.[58] It is a planned trilogy backed by Ronnie Screwvala.[59][60]

Media

Kaushal topped The Times of India's listing of the country's most desirable men of 2018,[61] he was ranked at No. 4 in 2019[62] as well as 2020.[63]

Forbes India featured him in their 30 Under 30 list of 2018.[64] The following year, he appeared in the magazine's Celebrity 100 list, ranking 72nd with an estimated annual income of 104.2 million (US$1.2 million).[65]

Kaushal also endorses several brands and products, including Havells, Reliance Trends, and Oppo, charging 2 crore (US$240,000)—3 crore (US$360,000) annually per brand.[66]

In April 2020, Kaushal contributed ₹1 crore to the PM CARES Fund and Maharashtra Chief Minister's Relief Fund due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India.[67][68]

Personal life

Kaushal dated actress Harleen Sethi for a brief period. They broke up in early 2019.[69][70]

Kaushal and actress Katrina Kaif got married on 9 December 2021 at Six Senses Resort, Fort Barwara in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan after dating for almost two years.[71][72][73]
