Four
years
ago,
the
beautiful
small
budget
drama,
Masaan,
launched
Vicky
Kaushal
as
an
actor
on
to
the
main
screen.
From
then,
till
now,
Vicky
has
steadily
climbed
the
film
industry's
ladder
with
his
sheer
talent
and
has
acted
in
critically
acclaimed
films
such
as
Raazi,
Sanju,
and
most
recently,
Uri:
The
Surgical
Strike.
But
incidentally,
Vicky's
casting
as
Deepak
Kumar
in
Masaan
was
completely
last
minute,
reveals
his
co-star
Richa
Chadda.
Well,
aren't
we,
as
an
audience
lucky
that
Vicky
was
cast
in
Masaan?
Read
further
to
find
out
what
Richa
said.
In
an
interview
with
Bollywood
Life,
Richa
Chadda,
who
played
Devi
Pathak
in
Masaan,
revealed
that
Vicky
Kaushal
was
cast
at
the
last
minute.
"He
was
a
last-minute
casting.
We
knew
of
his
talent
from
the
time
of
Gangs
Of
Wasseypur
where
he
was
an
AD
(assistant
director).
I
am
really
happy
to
see
his
success
in
recent
years.
Now,
the
world
is
seeing
how
incredible
he
is,"
she
said.
Revealing
that
her
character
Devi
Pathak
from
the
movie
is
her
most
favourite,
Richa
further
said,
"Devi
was
complicated,
had
a
rebellious
spirit
but
could
not
fight
her
context.
I
feel
blessed
to
play
her."
Vicky
Kaushal
took
to
Instagram
and
made
a
post
indulging
in
nostalgia,
and
celebrating
four
years
of
Masaan.
He
posted
a
picture
of
a
ghat
in
Varanasi
and
wrote,
"For
days
before
we
started
filming
Masaan,
I'd
sit
here
for
hours
at
a
stretch,
quietly
watching
bodies
getting
burnt
one
after
the
other...
dark,
fair,
beautiful,
ugly,
rich,
poor,
fat,
thin...
All
of
them
turning
into
the
same
colour
of
ash.
Leaving
behind,
just
their
deeds,
teaching
me
the
most
important
lesson
of
my
life.
My
job
was
to
put
life
into
Deepak,
what
eventually
happened
was
the
other
way
around.
Four
years
back,
I
got
to
ask
you
all
a
question...
"अब
तो
हम
friend
हो
गए,
हैं
ना?"
(now
we
are
friends,
right?)
...Answer
to
which,
I
keep
getting
till
date.
Here's
to
4
years
of
our
beautiful
friendship.
I
cherish
it
everyday
of
my
life.
Thank
You.
