However, his recent projects, Satluj and Dhurandhar 2 , have placed him in two very different cinematic worlds, with the former facing a release ban and the latter emerging as a major blockbuster. The audience took notice of Suvinder Vicky after he played the unforgettable character of policeman Balbir Singh in Kohrra .
Since then, he has taken on some challenging character roles across films and web series.
How this developed
I am lucky that I got to star in both films. I never became a meme before, but after Dhurandhar, a lot of memes were made on my character, so I was on a high. I am playing a negative character in Satluj, and I thought that after people see me in the film, mujhe bahut galiyan padegi (Audience will abuse me), but those who have seen that era understand it. We are hearing that the film’s pirated version is available. We don’t support piracy, but a film reaches the audience some way or the other. There are films which are based on real life and then there are fictional films, but they are also inspired by what goes on in the society. Hum hi insaan hai, hum hi shaitan hai. It depends who takes what in what sense. It depends on your thinking and also it is your choice. Now we have options. Now, we are moving with entertainment in our hands, if we don’t like something, we can go to something else. Then I thought that since nothing would be cut, I would improvise but Aditya stopped me in that moment. It is also our responsibility to not hurt sentiments in films.
Even though my character was small and I had to abuse a lot in Dhurandhar 2, but people showered me with a lot of love. Definitely, if this film was released on 70 MM, the makers would have got their return on investment, and it would be nice to watch it on the big screen. Because everybody has done justice to their work in the film, also, it looks real on screen. Because i’m abusing so much, i told Aditya that my whole dialogue will be a big beep, he should have instead made me play a mute character in the film. Because before Dhurandhar as we had worked in Satluj together, we shared a equation.
But he told me confidently that nothing will be cut. He said we will not go to mothers and sisters. When I warned him about my dialogues in the film, he told me, “It is part of life, camera ke samne faad de.”
Earlier, we only had theatres and Doordarshan.
