In 2015, a strikingly handsome actor made his entry into Bollywood with the highly praised film Masaan. His poignant and impactful performance as a heartbroken
lover left the audience in awe. However, no one was ready for what was to come next. If you haven't figured it out yet, we are referring to Vicky Kaushal, one of the most talented actors of his time. Following his impressive debut, he demonstrated his skills in films like Raman Raghav 2.0, Raazi, Sanju, Manmarziyaan, and others. Nevertheless, it was his first major box office success, Uri: The Surgical Strike, released in 2019, that truly solidified his status as a traditional Bollywood star. Since then, he has consistently delivered a mix of commercial hits and critically acclaimed films. The year 2025 marked a significant milestone in Kaushal’s career. His historical drama Chhaava, where he took on the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, became one of the top-grossing films of the year. He has an exciting lineup of projects coming up next.
