Vicky Kaushal is one of the finest actors in Bollywood today and filmmakers can't stop singing his praises. One of the versatile actors of his time, Vicky is currently relishing the immense success of his last release, Uri: The Surgical Strike. The film is all set to cross Rs 200 crores box office and it's a huge feat to be registered under his name. However, the success today tastes better 'cos of the hardships he faced in his initial days. That even includes rejection from various filmmakers. How will you react if we say Vicky had auditioned for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Bhaag Milkha Bhaag way back in 2012? Shocked, surprised? Well, we ain't lying. Vicky Kaushal Has a Special Note For Turning 'How's The Josh' Line Into an Emotion.

Vicky in his recent chat with Jitesh Pillai for Famously Filmfare revealed his first audition wasn't for Masaan or any other movie but Farhan Akhtar's Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. The biopic on field sprinter, Milkha Singh, enjoyed a successful run at the box office and was equally praised by critics and audiences alike. Did Vicky audition for Farhan's role and was eventually rejected or was it for some other character? We don't know and we'll have to wait for the episode to air this coming Sunday. But we do believe he would have justified the character as well as Farhan did. Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika, Vicky Kaushal’s Uri, Emraan Hashmi’s Why Cheat India – Ranking All Bollywood Movies of January 2019 From Worst to Best.
