Ever since Vicky Kaushal featured in Masaan (2015), the actor's career graph has been on an incline and in 2018, he witnessed back-to-back successes in Raazi, Lust Stories, Sanju, Love Per Square Foot and Manmarziyaan. Add to this, Vicky kick started the new year with a bang with his solo release Uri: The Surgical Strike. The film has not only been applauded by the audience and the critics alike but has crossed the coveted Rs 100-crore mark at the box office.
Nonetheless, the actor is all 'josh-ed' up with the thunderous response and told a leading daily, "Uri crossed the benchmark that every film is vying for," further adding, "In fact, the film fared better over the second weekend. Fans have been sending us videos of people reacting to different scenes - it is overwhelming to see them clapping and hooting."

When prodded how he's become a more bankable star now, Vicky quipped that making a film hit is a team effort. "A hero cannot make a film hit. Movies are made with team effort. I credit Aditya [Dhar, director] and Ronnie Screwvala [producer] for their conviction. A film can turn an actor into a star, but a star can't guarantee a great film on his own," he added.
Meanwhile, sharing his excitement of being able to connect with the audience, Vicky concluded by saying, "When people spot me walking or driving down the road, they exclaim, 'How's the josh?'"
On the work front, the actor will next be seen in Karan Johar's period drama Takht.
