After watching the movie, his wife shared Vicky portraying the freedom fighter onscreen reminded her of her beloved husband.
She told India Today, “When I looked at Vicky on screen, many pages of diaries flooded my memories. I remembered Irrfan’s excitement to do Sardar Udham and his childlike happiness whenever he had a tough role to do. Looking at Vicky, I remembered Irrfan in National School of Drama (NSD). It is unfair to compare both of them at this stage, because Irrfan was much older to Vicky in experience and age when he was to do the film.”
She added witnessing the same amount of passion and love Irrfan had for cinema in Vicky’s eyes, “But, I saw glimpses of passion, dedication, hard work and love for cinema in Vicky’s face just like Irrfan. I am sure Irrfan is happy up there to see Vicky play Sardar Udham Singh. After all, it was Irrfan’s dream role!”
Irrfan Khan was supposed to star in this movie, but due to his illness and early death, the makers got in Vicky Kaushal to play the key role.
