Vicky Kaushal to begin working on Manekshaw after finishing his dates for Takht
Earlier in 2019, it was reported that Vicky Kaushal will reunite with director Meghna Gulzar for the upcoming biopic on the decorated officer and war veteran Sam Manekshaw. During the time that the reports surfaced in the news, Vicky Kaushal was busy with his shooting schedules of Bhoot: Part One – The Haunted Ship with Bhanu Pratap Singh, and the Sardar Udham Singh biopic with Shoojit Sircar. The recent reports suggest that the URI: The Surgical Strike actor will begin shooting for the Sam Manekshaw biopic with Meghna Gulzar after he completes the schedules of Karan Johar’s Takht. Meghna Gulzar and Vicky Kaushal collaborated for the first time during Raazi, and they will now be working together for the second time with the Sam Manekshaw biopic.
According to media reports, Vicky Kaushal starred only in URI: The Surgical Strike last year, which turned out to be one of his biggest hits at the box-office. The reports indicate that he will be seen in a similar scenario as he stars solely in the Sardar Udham Singh biopic this year, which is scheduled for an October 2020 release. However, Vicky Kaushal will be having a busy year in terms of work as he begins shooting for Takht post his completion of Sardar Udham Singh. According to the reports, Vicky Kaushal is also supposed to start working for the Sam Manekshaw biopic with Meghna Gulzar soon after he wraps up his shoots for Takht. He is also reported to have the box-office release of Bhoot: Part One – The Haunted Ship schedule for February 21, 2020, which was scheduled for a November 2019 release earlier.
