Vicky Kaushal has not just managed to impress the critics but has most definitely become the National crush since girls can’t stop drooling over his good looks and charm.

Vicky Kaushal starrer Uri: The Surgical Strike is on a record-breaking spree. Talking about the success of the film, Vicky Kaushal said, "Till the film is released, you don't have an idea if it is going to work. But the kind of reaction we have received is really overwhelming. It's a surreal feeling that audience has accepted our film with open arms. In today's age, it is very difficult for a debutant director to get backing from producers for the story and then get a huge release for his film. Ultimately, when audience appreciates the film then, it's really special thing for the entire team."

Meanwhile on the professional front, Vicky Kaushal will next be seen in Karan Johar's horror-comedy film opposite Bhumi Pednekar. The actor will also play one of the main role in Karan Johar directorial period drama Takht which also features Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. The film is slated to release in 2020.
