The Meghna Gulzar's upcoming directorial, Sam Bahadur, also stars, Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh in the central roles.
Talking about the film, Vicky earlier said, "I am fortunate to portray the role of a real-life hero and patriot who is still remembered and loved for his contributions to our country. There is a lot to learn and take back as an actor. With the amount of prep and hard work the whole team has put in, I am sure the audiences will be thrilled to watch Sam's mesmerising journey to making India what it is today."
The film will be released on the same day as Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandanna's upcoming film 'Animal'. The latter's film is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. At the recent teaser launch event of 'Sam Bahadur', Vicky addressed the box office clash with 'Animal'.
The Sam Bahadur star shared, "We have to build an atmosphere with multiple films can work on the same day. We have the strength in the audience, we have the strength at the exhibitor level, so, why not? I think we kind of also need to push the envelope now. Given today's scenario now, the excitement that the the audiences have, I think, if they resonate with two films and both films are good, both can work. So, I am as excited for Animal as anybody else. As long as it is a great day for the audience. We work for them, not for each other."
Apart from this, Vicky will also be seen in director Anand Tiwari's upcoming untitled romantic film alongside Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk. Produced by Karan Johar, the film is all set to hit the theatres on February 23, 2024. Vicky also has a film with Rashmika titled Chaava.
