Vicky Kaushal:An Actor's Job Gets Reduced To Half With A Good Director

Vicky Kaushal, who is on a roll with his diverse roles in films like Raazi and Sanju, says working with a good director reduces an actor’s effort by half to play a character convincingly.

Whether it was as a loving husband in Raazi, a Gujarati friend in Sanju, a light-hearted character in Love Per Square Foot, a corrupt police officer in Raman Raghav 2.0 or as a low caste boy in Masaan -- Vicky has been impressing the audience and critics with his performances, screen time notwithstanding. He is humble in acknowledging the variety that he has been able to showcase in such a short span -- almost to the point of becoming Bollywood’s latest poster boy of versatility.

“When you get to work with a good director, an actor’s job gets reduced to half. From your end, you try to give your best to the characters. I am learning. Let’s see where the journey goes,” Vicky told IANS in Mumbai on the sidelines of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM).
