Or Jim Sarbh. He's kind of the ideal actor for a biopic.

“Drinks and pretty girls havent ruined me so far” this guy is a legend. This guy is how every grandparents should be

[u/foodmaafiaa]

While I like Vicky as Sam,I would have also liked Jim Sarbh instead

[u/tenduashroff]

His Biopic deserves a well qualified director. Meghna gulzar is shit. Why is she hired to direct his biopic? We saw what she did with raazi and chhapaak she cant direct films period. Another waste product of nepotism.

Unfortunately in Bollywood, movies run on the star's power if he's an A grade star or it runs beacuse the subject matter is good and has an upcoming "star". The second case is true for the Vicky Kaushal being cast as Col. Sam Manekshaw.

For example, for the Elvis Presley biopic, Baz Luhrmann cast a relatively unknown actor to play Elvis, if it were to be done in Bollywood it'd would surely go to a "star"

He’s totally miscast as he cannot play a classy character like Sam Maneckshaw he doesn’t have that gravitas.

[u/yerakchualfada]

Maybe but you need someone sellable for it. Vicky had massive success playing an army officer and is now doing it for 2 more movies.
