Vicky Kaushal on his role in ‘Govinda Naam Mera’: ‘I played a proper loser in life’

Actor Vicky Kaushal who was recently seen in ‘Govinda Naam Mera’ has talked about his latest release and how the ticket booth number game has changed post-Covid-19 pandemic era.

Talking about ‘Govinda Naam Mera’, he told Indian Express, ‘I’m so grateful that I’ve entered into this concoction because I still remember Shashank talking about the film for the first time, it was before the second phase of the Covid-19 pandemic. He said that we’re living in such terrifying times where people are so scared and everything you’re watching (on OTT) is also so gritty and serious, let’s make people laugh, let’s try and give them a good time. I was sold to that thought in the first place.’

He added that he wanted to do something different. ‘Also, I was coming out of some serious cinema with Uri: The Surgical Strike, Bhoot and Sardar Udham. As an actor, even I was hungry to explore that side and have fun on set. I play a proper loser in life, his wife beats him, he’s got a girlfriend; his mother or even his baai doesn’t care about him. He has a best-friend and you think aisaa best friend kisiko na mile, dushman ho usse acchha. There is a don, there is a hip-hopper, there is a lawyer, sautela bhai, sauteli maa, there is all sorts of confusion happening at the same time and there is a murder mystery involved, all of this is served with humour on top of it. We just want the viewers to have a good time and not take us seriously,’ said the actor.

On the work front, He has ‘Sam Bahadur and Laxman Utekar's untitled romantic drama, co-starring Sara Ali Khan in the pipeline.
