Bhubaneswar: High on the blockbuster success of Chhaava, Vicky Kaushal dons a new screen avatar. After Chaava's magical run at the box office, Vicky Kaushal donned the magical wand again.
After playing the Chattrapati Sambahji Maharaj, the actor steps into playing the role of a magician in Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming fantasy drama, Ek Jaadugar. The first look poster dropped Saturday, and it’s already casting a spell on fans and cinephiles alike.
The poster features Vicky Kaushal in an enchanting magician’s get-up — a rich green velvet suit adorned with intricate embroidery, a flamboyant emerald bowtie, and a tall top hat with a green feather. His dramatic curled mustache and mischievous glint evoke the classic illusionist charm, blending vintage flair with cinematic elegance.
He holds a glowing wand with a burst of blue light, seemingly conjuring a swirling green crystal orb that floats above his palm. Surrounding him are visual cues straight out of a magician’s playbook — a white dove mid-flight, a rabbit leaping from a hat, and playing cards soaring through the air. The entire scene is set against a vintage circus or theatre backdrop, complete with velvet curtains, heightening the fantastical tone of the film.
Fans are buzzing big about Vicky’s never-seen-before avatar. Social media is flooded with comments with long eulogies over his magical makeover, with many wondering if the film leans more toward fantasy, drama, or a heartwarming tale wrapped in illusion. With Shoojit Sircar at the helm, expectations are high for a unique storytelling experience that blends realism with whimsy.
Speaking about the professional front, Vicky is currently basking in Chhaava’s success. The historical drama, directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Maddock Films, received positive reviews from the critics as well as the audience. The film has till date collected a whopping Rs 595=4 cr in Box office.
It also featured Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead, Akshay Khanna as the antagonist, and Viineet Kumar Singh in a supporting role.
As far as the upcoming projects of Vicky are concerned, besides Ek Jaadugar, he also has a film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, titled Love and War.
