Someone at work once joked about Vicky Kaushal and said, “If he does even one more army film, he may have to be given the army canteen card”. Even though it was a joke, it sounded realistic and accurate. After the massive success of Raazi and Uri, Vicky will be stepping into the shoes of Sam Manekshaw, the first Field Marshal of India, in Meghna Gulzar’s upcoming movie.

Syed Ata Hasnain, Lt Gen (Retd), Indian Army took to social media to point out the inaccuracies in the uniform that was worn by Vicky in the picture. Kaushal told Mirror that to get into the skin of his character, he will interact with people who knew Manekshaw closely, go through material on him and watch his videos.

He tweeted,

Woukd love it if consulted. Lt Gen Deepinder Singh, his MA, is there to give everything on him. Vicky Kaushal, for starters is wearing wrong colour badges of rank. Sam was a Gurkha, never wore brass, always black badges. I am proud to wear that too being a Garhwali Bhulla. https://t.co/S4BG2lKHuW
