Vicky Kaushal Was Once Almost Beaten By Sand Mafia

Vicky Kaushal started his journey in the film industry as an assistant director to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap for his movie Gangs of Wasseypur. The actor revealed in Tanmay Bhat's YouTube show that he was almost beaten by a sand mafia while working on Gangs of Wasseypur. He said in the interview, "The coal smuggling that was shown in the film (Gangs of Wasseypur) was real. We shot it." He further explained, "One incident happened when we went to capture visuals of illegal sand mining. I was baffled because that was the first time I realised that this happens so openly that you wouldn't feel that this is actual smuggling going on; you would feel that it is a properly run business because there weren't just two trucks standing there, there were 500 trucks." Vicky shot the smuggling scene secretly. While he was doing so, he was caught by some people.

Vicky said, "There were 500 people surrounding us. So, the camera attendant was an old man, some 50 plus. That guy called the unit saying that the camera wouldn't come on time because we were caught up in a situation here." Believing that the cameraman was calling someone influential, the local goons (or workers) "slapped the cameraman, snatched the camera, and threatened that they would break the camera." "We both were about to get beaten up, but we somehow escaped," added Vicky.
