Vicky Kaushal’ last release Uri: The Surgical Strikes took him to a new level of stardom. Now, the actor has been signed on to play freedom fighter Sardar Udham Singh in his biopic. The project will be directed by Shoojit Sircar and will go on floors from April. According to the makers, the film will be released in 2019.
Talking about the film director Shoojit Sircar said. "If you look at Vicky's track record, he is taking brave steps and making some really fabulous choices. I wanted an actor who is ready to give his heart and soul to the film. Plus, he is a Punjabi boy and my film is a story of a Punjabi man. So, in many ways, he turned to be the obvious choice,"

Talking about Sardar Udham Singh, he was an Indian hero who took the revenge of Jalayanwala Bagh massacre. He was the man who assassinated Michael O'Dwyer, the former Lieutenant Governor of Punjab in British India in 1940, to avenge the 1919 massacre. With such a historical story to tell, it will be interesting to see how Vicky and Shoojit would go about this project.
Vicky Kaushal also has a horror film under his belt which is yet to be officially announced.
