Ahead of Sam Bahadur’s release Vicky Kaushal talks about portraying real life heroes in films, says ‘ek responsibility hoti hai’

Just few days left until the release of the much anticipated Vicky Kaushal starrer Sam Bahadur and the excitement is only rising. Vicky who would be portraying the role of Sam Manekshaw in the film is known for his versatility and it’s not the first time the actor is going to do a biographical film. 
Talking about the challenges of working with such films, in a recent interview the actor went on to point that its like a responsibility when it comes to getting a real life hero on the screen.

Vicky said, "They are the true heroes of our country toh ek jimmedari hoti hai, ek responsibility hoti hai. You can't be frivolous. Masti nahi kar sakte ki kuch bhi kar lunga. There's a structure you have to follow, plus if you are making a film on a true hero because they have lived a certain kind of glory, they have left behind a certain kind of legacy, so you need to kind of sense the responsibility that you're given. It's not just an opportunity, it's a huge responsibility also. So, that pressure is always there, and especially when you get to wear the Indian army uniform, it's a huge responsibility."

He further continued, “Wo bahut mehnat kar ke phir jake unko wo uniform pehenne ka mauka milta hai wo medals pehanne ka mauka milta hai. Hume as a costume bhi mil jata hai par wo costume bhi pehen kar to really portray them is a huge responsibility. So that pressure is always there.”

Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film will release on December 1, 2023. The film will also feature Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra alongside Vicky.
