Vicky Kaushal is one of the most loved actors of Bollywood in the current era. He has won over his fans not only with his charm and dashing personality but also with his impeccable acting skills.

Vicky Kaushal’s Cameo In Dunki

In an interview with The Week Magazine, Vicky Kaushal expressed why he took a cameo role in ‘Dunki’ despite being a leading Bollywood actor. 

He stated, “I told Raju sir (director Rajkumar Hirani) that even if he had wanted me to simply pass by unnoticed, I would happily do that as well… My father (action director) Sham Kaushal was working on Dunki and because Sukhi (Vicky’s character) had that fire sequence, my father asked Hirani who was playing the part. He wanted to know ‘Mujhe kisko jalaana hai? (Whom do I light on fire?)’. So Hirani said he wanted somebody like Vicky, but did not offer it to me because he thought it was a small role. When my dad came home, I asked him how the meeting went. He recounted the [interaction with Hirani] and I said, ‘Really?’ The very next day I called Raju sir and told him if it had to be somebody like me, then why not me? I landed up in his office that very day and said yes without even listening to the script. The first time I saw the full film was during the screening. I only knew my part.”
