Sircar and Vicky discussed their forthcoming film Sardar Udham during an event where the director stated that he discovered Vicky through his excellent performance in the 2015 film Masaan. He then went on to explain that he hasn’t even seen URI- The Surgical Strick.
Speaking at India Today Conclave 2021, the director said, “I have not seen Uri. I want to thank Vicky for choosing to do Masaan, otherwise, he won’t be doing Sardar Udham. He has a little bit of Punjabi in him and I wanted that. I wanted somebody on my page. I needed somebody who can really understand the part. With Vicky, there was passion and focus.”
He further stated that Vicky is a pleasant young man and that his Punjabi dialect helped him land the part of Sardar Udham Singh. Sircar remarked on the film and the historic Jallianwala Bagh massacre, “People don’t really know about Sardar Udham Singh’s upbringing, if he was at Jallianwala Bagh.” He said that it is still unclear to people if he was actually present there. He was essentially a globetrotter, he added.
Sircar went on to say that the Jallianwala Bagh massacre had a profound impact on Udham. “I attempted to enter Sardar Udham’s thoughts. What he must have carried about with him for the past 21 years, what altered him “Sircar said.
