In the realm of Bollywood, where familial connections often play a significant role, Sunny Kaushal stands out as one who diligently carved his path to success. The director of ‘Shiddat’ has underscored that he and his brother, Vicky Kaushal, consciously refrained from capitalizing on their father Sham Kaushal’s esteemed name in the industry, renowned for his action direction.
In a recent interview with Curly Tales, Sunny shed light on the challenges faced by technicians working behind the camera, emphasizing that casting directors frequently remain unfamiliar with their contributions. Despite Sham Kaushal’s respected position, Sunny disclosed that simply being aware of his father’s name did not necessarily translate into career opportunities for him and Vicky.
Addressing questions about auditioning with a film industry background, Sunny explained the disconnect between casting directors and the technicians behind the scenes. He stressed that even if the casting directors were acquainted with his father’s name, it did not automatically lead to opportunities for him and his brother. Proud of their surname, Sunny highlighted their commitment to not exploiting familial ties in their professional pursuits.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Sunny Kaushal is gearing up for the release of his upcoming project, ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba,’ co-starring Taapsee Pannu. The film is anticipated to hit the screens later this year.
