Right
from
his
debut
film
Masaan,
Vicky
Kaushal
has
always
enthralled
the
audience
with
his
heartfelt
performances
in
his
films.
However,
it
was
Aditya
Dhar's
Uri:
The
Surgical
Strike
which
proved
to
be
a
turning
point
for
him.
The
film
was
one
of
the
biggest
blockbusters
of
2019
and
even
helped
Vicky
to
bag
the
National
Award
for
Best
Actor.
Recently,
there
were
reports
floating
in
the
media
about
the
actor
hiking
his
remuneration
after
delivering
this
huge
hit
at
the
box
office.
Recently
when
Filmibeat
caught
up
with
Vicky
during
the
promotions
of
his
upcoming
film,
Bhoot
Part
One:
The
Haunted
Ship,
the
actor
reacted
to
these
reports.
Vicky
told
us,
'Mujhe
chulha
bhi
toh
jalana
hai'
(jokes)
It's
not
like
I
have
hiked
my
remuneration.
It's
just
that
sometimes,
you
take
you
films
which
you
wrap
up
in
20
days
and
then,
there
are
some
films
where
you
devote
a
lot
of
months.
When
you
are
investing
so
much
and
giving
that
much
time
to
prep
as
well,
then
the
logistics
should
be
accordingly
to
that.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
you
are
selling
your
services.
So,
we
don't
have
fixed
pay
cheques.
It's
not
like,
if
you
give
a
successful
film,
you
hike
your
remuneration.
There
are
other
logistical
reasons
as
well
due
to
which
the
amount
keeps
changing.
It
increases
as
well
as
decreases.
But,
people
always
talk
about
the
hike."
Talking
about
how
Uri:
The
Surgical
Strike's
success
was
a
highlight
in
his
career,
the
actor
said,
"It
has
been
a
beautiful
year.
There
was
a
time
when
I
was
even
ready
to
pay
to
get
work,
and
now
I
am
receiving
so
much
love.
Producers
can
also
rely
on
me
now
and
I
am
getting
work.
Also,
I
am
getting
to
work
with
filmmakers
with
whom
it
was
my
dream
to
work,
which
feels
great.
Also,
my
self
confidence
has
increased
and
I
feel,
yes
I
am
on
the
right
track.
Uri
was
made
by
a
debutante
filmmaker.
I
had
never
played
a
solo
lead
before
this
film.
So,
I
had
a
huge
responsibility
on
my
shoulders.
But
because
the
film
clicked,
the
audience
accepted
it.
As
long
as
the
script
works
for
you,
you
must
go
for
it.
You
never
know
what
the
next
Friday
might
bring
for
you.
The
industry
is
going
through
a
beautiful
phase
where
people
are
not
just
dependent
of
the
film's
packaging.
If
the
content
in
your
film
is
good,
there's
an
audience
for
it.
People
will
buy
the
tickets
and
go,
watch
and
support
your
film."
He
further
added,
"It's
been
a
great
year
for
me
after
Uri:
The
Surgical
Strike.
People
have
showered
me
with
love.
It
feels
like
they
have
snatched
the
film
from
us
and
made
it
their
own.
More
than
the
box
office
numbers
and
awards,
that
feeling
was
more
special
for
us.
You
feel
more
happy
about
your
success
when
you
see
that
happiness
reflecting
in
your
parents' eyes.
When
you
see
your
parents
sitting
back
and
enjoying
that
success,
it
feels
good.
My
dad
has
struggled
a
lot
in
his
life.
His
only
regret
in
life
is
that
my
grandfather
wasn't
there
to
enjoy
his
good
phase.
I
feel
good
that
now
when
my
time
is
good,
my
parents
are
there
with
me
to
see
that
time.
I
feel,
God
has
been
kind."
In
the
same
interview,
Vicky
told
us
that
he
is
eager
to
overcome
his
fear
of
ghosts
and
revealed
that
he
feels
jealous
of
people
who
don''t
feel
scared
to
watch
horror
movies.
The
actor
confessed,
"I
would
love
to
overcome
that
fear
because
I
get
very
jealous
of
people
who
say
we
really
enjoy
horror
films.
I
wonder
don''t
they
feel
scared
at
night?
If
I
see
something
in
the
kitchen
in
a
horror
film,
I
would
probably
see
the
same
thing
in
my
kitchen
in
real
life!
And
it
becomes
difficult
to
sleep
alone
at
night."
Vicky

Part

Haunted
Ship
