Vicky Kaushal Was A Part Of Gangs Of Wasseypur; Reveals, “I’m That Silhouette You See, Overacting Karte Hue”

Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur released on this day 9 years ago. This two-part film, starring Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Richa Chadda, Huma Qureshi and Tigmanshu Dhulia in pivotal roles, also starred another Bollywood star – though it was more of a blink and miss cameo. Any guesses who? Well, we are talking about the Uri star, Vicky Kaushal.

Vicky, before it making it big in front of the camera, was an assistant director. For this film, he was on board as an AD, while his father, Sham Kaushal, was the action director. It is often seen that assistant directors also feature in films to fill up the frame alongside the extras hired, and the same was true here. Read on to know about Vicky’s ‘cameo’ below.

In a chat with Midday, Vicky Kaushal spoke about his blink and miss appearance in Gangs of Wasseypur. He said, “It’s the scene where Nagma Khatoon (Richa Chadha) goes to a brothel. Last minute, everyone (junior artistes) that we’d rounded up in Benares refused to participate in that scene, once they realized it’s a brothel. The entire direction team stood-in for them.”
