Vicky Kaushal is currently riding high on the success of his romantic drama Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, which starred Sara Ali Khan opposite him. One of his upcoming films is the keenly-awaited biopic on Field Marshal Sam Makehshaw, who was the Chief of the Army Staff during India’s war with Pakistan in 1971, titled Sam Bahadur.
