Vicky Kaushal’s look from ‘Chaava’ leaked on social media
Director Laxman Utekar's film 'Chhava' is a historical drama movie. Its story is based upon the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Indian ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Actor Vicky Kaushal is all prepping up for Meghna Gulzar’s forthcoming film based on Sam Manekshaw, fondly known as Sam Bahadur. On Saturday, the actor paid his heartfelt tribute to Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw on his death anniversary.
The Uri actor shared a video in his memory which is a montage of a rare black and white picture of Manekshaw and a picture of Vicky, bearing striking resemblance with the former in his look from the biopic.
