Bollywood’s spirited star, Vicky Kaushal, is set to light up the silver screen once more as he gears up to resume shooting for his much-anticipated film, ‘Chhava’. The actor had previously been sidelined by an arm injury that temporarily halted production, but recent reports are buzzing with the good news of his return. Come March 9th, Kaushal will be back on the film’s set, bringing with him an undamped fervor and readiness for action.
As detailed in a report by the Times of India, a source close to the production revealed that “Vicky will start shooting for ‘Chhava’ from March 9th. He has recovered and is back to his strength and zeal.” The production team, currently filming in the scenic locales of Wai and Bhor, eagerly awaits the actor’s return as they advance through their shooting schedule.
Kaushal’s path to recovery seems to have been a dedicated journey, with an eagerness to dive back into the compelling storyline of ‘Chhava’. A depiction of the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the gallant son of the legendary Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the historical film is poised to be a significant highlight of Kaushal’s career.
Amidst this thriving environment of anticipation and hard work, Vicky Kaushal’s co-star, the charismatic Rashmika Mandanna, recently finished filming her parts for the movie. Mandanna, acknowledging her experience and the contributions of the entire team, penned a note expressing her heartfelt gratitude. She also had warm words for Kaushal, stating, “It’s been such a pleasure working with you. You are just too warm and kind […] You are such a gem. I will always wish the best for you, man. Was such a pleasure.” Her words underscore the camaraderie and mutual respect fostered on the sets of ‘Chhava’.
Kaushal himself took to Instagram to reflect on his time on set, stating, “Last day on set for this year. Ending the year by completing the biggest action sequence of my career so far. 2023, you have been truly gratifying… Walking into 2024 hungrier than ever before!” The determination and enthusiasm of the actor shines through his words, promising an electric performance in the upcoming film.
Despite the spotlight, Vicky Kaushal maintains a balanced perspective regarding his public persona. In an interview with GQ, he highlighted his intention to stay grounded. The actor expressed his limited consumption of media about himself to preserve the joy of his craft. This selective approach is a testament to his focus on the art and experience of acting, rather than the fame that accompanies it.
Further cementing his versatility as an artist, Vicky Kaushal is also involved in an untitled romantic drama, helmed by Anand Tiwari and produced by celebrated filmmaker Karan Johar. The film boasts of a stellar line-up, with Tripti Dimri and Ammy Vrik as fellow leads alongside Kaushal – a testament to his enduring presence in the Indian cinema landscape.
As the countdown to March 9th begins, fans and the film fraternity alike await the return of Vicky Kaushal to the ‘Chhava’ set. His journey through convalescence to reclaiming his role with passion and determination is a narrative as compelling as the historical epic he is set to portray. As he strides back onto the set, the film’s narrative and Kaushal’s own story interweave, each enriched by challenges overcome and the continuing pursuit of cinematic excellence.
