Vicky Kaushal on His Role as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj

Speaking to ANI, Vicky Kaushal described portraying Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj as the most challenging role of his career. He underwent rigorous physical and mental preparation to embody the historical figure.

“Playing such a historical figure requires a lot of discipline, and discipline is tough. If you are not used to discipline, where I was, it becomes very challenging because it's not just a one-month commitment; it's a commitment for one and a half to two years,” said Kaushal. He further added, “I'm just happy that I get to say that this is the toughest role I've played till date. I hope I can continue to grow, not just as an actor but as a human being, with every role I take on.”
