Vicky Kaushal was surrounded by sand mafia
During an interview on Tanmay Bhatt’s YouTube channel, Vicky Kaushal recalled the days when he was working on the film Gangs of Wasseypur. He also narrated a shocking incident during this time. The actor said, “The coal smuggling shown in the film was real. We shot it. An incident happened when we went to capture a scene of illegal sand mining. I was shocked because for the first time I realized that all this happens so openly that you will not even feel that this is real smuggling. You will feel that this is a well-run business because there were not just two trucks standing there, there were 500 trucks standing there.
Vicky Kaushal had escaped from getting beaten up
In the same conversation, Vicky told that during that time the situation had become such that while using the scene of illegal sand mining in the film, he was almost beaten up by the mob. Vicky said, “We were shooting them secretly and some people came. There were 500 people around us. So, the camera attendant was an elderly man, he must have been more than 50 years old. That man called the unit and said that the camera will not come on time because we are stuck in a situation here. Listening to him on the phone, the person present there thought that he was calling some influential person. That man slapped the cameraman, snatched the camera from him and threatened us that they will break the camera. Both of us were about to be beaten up, but we somehow escaped.”

Vicky also revealed that he almost got arrested while shooting at the railway station in the city of Banaras. The actor revealed, “We had a camera in a van and we were shooting at Banaras station. The shot was that Nawazuddin Siddiqui would come out of the station, sit in a cycle rickshaw and leave. Though we were shooting with a hidden camera, we still demanded a proper single shot. When we were shooting that scene, we saw two constables looking at the camera and pointing at it, asking, ‘Who are you?’ At that time, I asked the driver to drive the van and escape from the station because the police had spotted us… That’s how Gangs of Wasseypur was made.”
