'Playing real life role a huge responsibility'

Mumbai: Actor Vicky Kaushal, who plays a Pakistani Army officer in Raazi, says he felt more responsible while narrating the character on-screen because the forthcoming film is based on a series of true stories and real life people.
Based on Harinder Sikka's book "Calling Sehmat", the story of the film Raazi revolves around a young Kashmiri girl who gets married to a Pakistani Army officer and becomes a spy to give inside information about the neighbouring country to protect her own.
"Since the film is based on a true life incident, there was a certain amount of responsibility on all of us to get the story right. Whether it is me, Alia Bhatt or anyone who was a part of the film...We were conscious about not to tamper with anything," said Vicky. His character is named Iqbal.
"The character has many shades – of a patriot, of a son, a husband and an individual who is dealing with so many complex situations. I think it was a huge responsibility for director Meghna Gulzar as well and she treated the story very sincerely."
Vicky, who did not read the book as a conscious choice to follow the script religiously, said he only went by the director's vision. After Raazi, which is releasing on Friday, he has Sanju and Love and Lust in his kitty.
