Post
the
blockbuster
success
of
his
2019
film
Uri:
The
Surgical
Strike,
Vicky
Kaushal
bagged
some
big-ticket
projects
which
caught
the
audience's
attention
right
from
their
announcement.
We
are
talking
about
Karan
Johar's
magnum
opus
Takht
and
Aditya
Dhar's
ambitious
venture
The
Immortal
Ashwatthama.
Both
these
movies
are
high
on
budget
and
VFX.
However,
the
COVID-19
pandemic
played
a
major
spoilsport
and
the
makers
had
no
other
choice
but
to
put
both
these
flicks
on
the
backburner.
In
a
recent
interview
with
Film
Companion,
Vicky
opened
up
on
Takht
and
The
Immortal
Ashwatthama
getting
delayed.
On
being
asked
about
how
he
processed
this
and
moved
ahead
with
rest
of
his
work,
the
Manmarziyaan
actor
said
that
it
was
heartbreaking
as
there
was
a
lot
of
hard
work
which
had
gone
in
both
the
movies,
on
an
individual
level
and
as
a
team.
Vicky
told
the
entertainment
portal,
"There
was
a
lot
of
hard
work
that
had
gone
into
both
films,
on
an
individual
level
as
well
as
a
team.
It
was
heartbreaking,
but
at
the
end,
what
is
happening
in
the
larger
context
of
the
world
is
also
heartbreaking.
And
in
that,
we've
lost
lives.
If
you
are
losing
films
because
of
some
practical
reasons,
of
course,
it
is
a
mood
dampener,
but
you
also
understand
why
this
is
happening.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
it
made
sense."
He
continued,
"Because
there
is
somebody
who
is
putting
in
that
kind
of
money
to
build
that
film
up.
Each
working
day
on
that
film,
even
in
the
pre-production
stage,
costs
a
lot
of
money.
We've
finally
reached
a
stage
where
theatres
are
reopening,
and
we
still
don't
know
the
amount
of
time
it'll
take
for
a
complete
occupancy.
You
don't
know
how
much
the
profit
models
and
the
budgeting
of
films
have
changed
on
paper.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
it
made
sense.
So
you
get
over
that;
you
take
it
with
a
pinch
of
salt
and
move
ahead."
Vicky
is
currently
busy
with
the
promotions
of
his
upcoming
film,
Shoojit
Sircar's
Sardar
Udham
which
is
slated
to
release
on
October
16
on
Amazon
Prime
Video.
Besides
these
two
films,
he
also
has
Shashank
Khaitan's
Mr
Lele
and
Meghana
Gulzar's
Sam
Bahadur
in
the
pipeline.
