Ahead of 'Sam Bahadur' release, Vicky Kaushal turns writer for Zomato; Abhishek Bachchan praises actor for 'setting the bar high'
Kaushal has come a long way.
The ‘Uri’ star has collaborated with food delivery giant Zomato, for an advertisement where he will be seen in a completely different avatar — that of a writer! The ad is a tribute to India’s first Field Marshal, Sam Manekshaw.
In the video, the actor is seen crafting notifications for the app. From coming up with ingenious breakfast requests to discussing pizza topping preferences! While coming up with innovative notifications, the star is also seen requesting the viewers to watch his upcoming movie ‘Sam Bahadur’ in the theatres.
As per a report by StoryBoard18, the app also held a special screening party of the movie for its employees in Delhi.
The actor who is essaying the titular role has graced the event.
The star looked dashing in a black coat and shirt. Keeping him company was his wife, actress Katrina Kaif, who sizzled in a black off-shoulder dress.
The event was a star-studded affair, attended by many B’town celebs such as Ananya Pandey, Rekha, Karan Johar, Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, etc.
Taking to X, Bachchan Jr, praised Kaushal’s performance profusely.
“What do I even say about you… you continue to set the bar so high for all of us and then so effortlessly jump over it as only Sam can. All I can say is “Well done, sweety,” wrote the ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ star. Bachchan Jr also lauded director Meghna Gulzar for leaving no stone unturned to create, a gripping yet faithful adaptation of the war hero’s life.
“The enormity of all that #FieldMarshalSamManekshaw did and achieved is overwhelming! And so beautifully told on celluloid by my favourite @meghnagulzar. It’s a huge responsibility to portray one of India’s greatest sons and she does it wonderfully. To the entire cast
