In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Vicky Kaushal, who played the lead role of Sardar Udham Singh in Shoojit Sircar's historical drama Sardar Udham, was asked if he felt disappointed for not winning the National Award for Best Actor for the film. He said, “No. Very honestly, like I swear on anybody, very honestly and I’ll tell you why, because firstly, it’s very sweet of you know that for you to say that but, secondly, being a Punjabi, you know genuinely it’s a big deal for me to get that film and do that role, because we have heard these stories you know, of Sardar Udham Singh Ji since childhood and I used to always wonder why people don’t know about this and why is it only popular and we are only told like in Punjab you know, the world should know about it. For then to eventually get that role, to get the opportunity to live that part, to be directed by a director you’ve been really craving to work with, it was all just like a big already like a blessing to me ki yaar ye mujhe mauka mil raha hai (wow, I'm getting an opportunity). Then when you get to do that people resonate with the film, they appreciate your work, it’s already like gone like, you know, everything mera wo ek hota hai na, ghada bhar gaya tha, ki ye bohut mil gaya mujhe iss film ke liye (the vessel of luck was full and I got a lot of it for this film) and I’m just very very happy that it turned out however it turned out.
