Vicky Kaushal, a Bollywood actor who has achieved success in both his professional and personal lives, is said to have auditioned for Kabir Khan’s multi-starrer sports drama ’83, which was released over the Christmas holiday. According to reports, Vicky tried out for the part of cricketer Mohinder Amarnath. According to the source, Khan was really interested in being a part of the film.
Ranveer Singh’s latest film, 83, is a biopic of Kapil Dev directed by Kabir Khan. It tells the story of the Indian cricket team’s win in the 1983 World Cup. Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jiiva, Saqib Saleem, Jatin Sarna, Chirag Patil, Dinker Sharma, Nishant Dahiya, Harrdy Sandhu, Sahil Khattar, Ammy Virk, Adinath Kothare, Dhairya Karwa, and R Badree appeared with Ranveer Singh as Dev and Deepika Padukone as Romi Bhatia. But did you know that Vicky Kaushal was also in the film 83? Yes, the Uri actor auditioned for the part of Mohinder Amarnath in 83 but eventually declined.
“The screening occurred before ‘Raazi’ was released becoming a hit, after which he opted to subscribe to the production since he didn’t want to play the second advantage in the film,” sources have told TOI. “Despite the fact that Kabir Khan wanted Vicky to play Mohinder Amarnath.” Later, Saqib Salem was given the role.
Vicky Kaushal is presently working on a project with Sara Ali Khan. However, it is unknown which film he is filming for, as the couple is cast together within two films – ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’ and an unnamed film by Laxman Utekar. In addition, he is working on ‘Sam Bahadur,’ ‘Govinda Mera Naam,’ ‘The Great Indian Family,’ and ‘Takht.’
