Vicky Kaushal on interaction with sand mafia
During a recent chat with Tanmay Bhat for his YouTube channel, Vicky Kaushal revealed he was once almost beaten up by a sand mafia. Recalling the time nearly 500 goons were ready to physically harm him during the making of Gangs of Wasseypur, the ‘Bad Newz’ actor said, “The coal smuggling that was shown in the film was real. We shot it. One incident happened when we went to capture visuals of illegal sand mining. I was baffled because that was the first time I realised that this happens so openly that you wouldn’t feel that this is actual smuggling going on; you would feel that it is a properly run business because there weren’t just two trucks standing there, there were 500 trucks.”
He further stated, “We were shooting them secretly and some people came. There were 500 people surrounding us. The camera attendant called the unit saying that the camera wouldn’t come on time because we were caught up in a situation here. Hearing him talk over the phone, the person there thought that he was calling somebody influential. That man slapped the cameraman, snatched the camera from him, and threatened us that they would break the camera. Both of us were about to get beaten up. We somehow escaped and saved our lives.”
