Raazi actor Vicky Kaushal goes back to theatre roots with new production

The play is a part of an initiative by Rage Productions to raise funds for all the back-stage artists in theatre.

Sharing his excitement about the play and its unique concept, Vicky Kaushal said in a statement, “I felt conceptually this play is extremely exciting because it will happen only this one time, and it is not going to be repeated ever. The concept is that before the show the actors are going to come to know of the co-actors, script, the director only 12 hours before the show. So, whatever they have to do is in those 12 hours that they have to prepare the play so that for me was very exciting to take part in the play. Because it’s just a one-day commitment, with such noble initiative and also very exciting process for a creative person involved, I am very excited to be a part of this.”

Vicky will begin shooting for Screwvala’s real-life inspired film early next year. Titled Uri, the movie is about the Indian army’s surgical strike in Pakistan occupied Kashmir that was carried out after the September 2016 Uri terror attacks. It will be directed by debutante Aditya Dhar, and have Kaushal play an army officer. Rest of the cast hasn’t been announced yet.
