Vicky Kaushal’s upcoming Bad Newz directed by Anand Tiwari is a quirky tale about hetero-paternal superfecundation – the rare instance of a woman giving birth to twins with different biological fathers. My character’s name is Akhil Chadha. He is a happy-go-lucky guy from Delhi.
The similarities between me and Akhil are that we both love Punjabi songs, and we’re both strong on commitment. He is into the ‘mandap mode’ from the start — mere sath bhi real mein aisa hi huva. On the other hand, I feel I am slightly more mature than Akhil.
There’s nothing funny about bad news in real life. Your family helps you face that. My family has always stood by me, sharing my joys and sorrows.
You’ve done serious films like Sardar Udham and Sam Bahadur earlier. What other genres are you looking to work in? I still have a lot of genres on my bucket list, including the type of films I watched while growing up. Intense films like, Sam Bahadur and Sardar Udham Singh come with huge responsibilities.
Having said that, if I get an intense story, I will not let it go. I haven’t had any formal training in dance. I am like a baraati (marriage crowd) dancer.
I dance for my happiness. But while performing a dance number for the camera you have to dance according to the camera movements. This time, my free dancing style matched the camera movement.
So, I got full marks for it from Katrina. She has tagged me as a ‘Cool dancer’ for ‘Tauba Tauba.’ I am very practical while she is .
