From Masaan to Sanju to Raazi, Vicky has managed to win over the hearts of the audiences. Now,his next project is Shoojit Sircar’s Sardar Udham Singh which is a biopic based on the life of Udham Sing.
In the look, we saw Vicky dressed as an Englishman in search of the culprit responsible for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919. Another thing that was prominent in Vicky’s look was a scar on his cheekbone.
The story behind the scar has come to light now and it surely has everything to do with Vicky’s cheekbone injury which took place a while back. As per the report, Udham Singh had hurt himself during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre on his arm. When the director heard that Vicky had hurt himself on his face and had got 13 stitches, Shoojit Sircar decided to use that injury in the film as well as a reminder of Udham Singh’s arm injury.
As per a report, “When he (Vicky) reported to the set in Russia, Shoojit and the team decided to use the scar prominently instead of hiding it with makeup. They felt that a facial scar, instead of one on the arm, would serve well as a reminder of that fateful day to the protagonist and depict his anguish more strongly. So, it worked out well for the film's first look.”

Shoojit Sircar added, “We had a scar in the film already; so fortunately or unfortunately, it helped our look.” Well, now that the film’s shoot is underway, we know the story behind the scar on Vicky’s face in the first look of the film.
The film will showcase the journey of Sardar Udham Singh who wanted to take revenge from General Dwyer who he held responsible for the infamous Baisakhi incident at the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
