Vicky Kaushal thought he was not 'handsome' enough to play Sam Manekshaw in 'Sam Bahadur'

New Delhi, Nov 7 (PTI) Actor Vicky Kaushal said on Tuesday he initially thought he was not good looking enough for the role of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in filmmaker Meghna Gulzar's "Sam Bahadur".

At the film's trailer launch event held at the Manekshaw Centre here, Kaushal said Gulzar told him about her desire to make the biopic on Manekshaw during the shooting of their 2018 film "Raazi".

"I remember when Meghna and I were working on 'Raazi', then during a shooting schedule in Patiala she told me what she wanted to do next. And she said she wants to make a film on Sam Manekshaw," Kaushal said.
