Vicky
Kaushal
has
moved
quickly
in
his
career
to
secure
his
place
as
an
actor
who
is
here
to
stay
in
Bollywood.
He
has
explored
genres
from
romantic
comedy
to
action
to
horror,
and
has
delivered
incredible
performances
every
time.
Through
his
most
recent
film,
Bhoot
-
Part
One:
The
Haunted
Ship,
Vicky
had
a
much
needed
personal
learning
experience.
He
says
that
he
was
able
to
overcome
his
fear
of
horror
movies
after
doing
this
film!
IANS
quoted
Vicky
as
saying,
"I
was
never
a
'horror-film
friendly'
actor
before
doing
Bhoot
Part
One:
The
Haunted
Ship.
I
was
someone
who
would
step
out
of
the
room
if
a
horror
movie
was
on.
However,
with
this
film,
I
was
able
to
overcome
my
fear."
"With
this
movie,
the
endeavour
has
been
to
bring
to
the
fans,
a
true
experience
of
the
genre
through
a
genuine
horror
film
which
is
not
just
filled
with
thrills,
but
which
is
honestly
scary," he
added.
Bhoot
was
directed
by
Bhanu
Pratap
Singh,
and
it
also
starred
Bhumi
Pednekar
and
Ashutosh
Rana.
It
was
produced
under
the
banner
of
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions,
and
went
on
to
win
much
critical
acclaim
and
praise
from
audiences.
Some
members
of
the
Hindi
film
fraternity
even
called
Bhoot
the
best
horror
film
Bollywood
has
produced
until
now.
However,
the
film
underperformed
at
the
box
office.
Next,
Vicky
will
be
seen
in

Udham
Singh,

Singh,

the
Jallianwala
Bagh
