Anand Tiwari on Vicky Kaushal as an amazing dancer

He exclusively told us “ Vicky has always been an amazing dancer. So I knew that someday he would become a dancing star. Honestly, I had never dreamt that I would get a chance to make a film like Bad Newz. And that too for Dharma Productions. We have grown up watching Dharma films, and songs as well. They were shot in beautiful locations. I imagined it included a Bosco Caeser song or maybe a song by Farah Khan. There would be a Vicky Kaushal dancing in some foreign location. So, it was a huge thing for me. I am honestly quite humbled to people like Karan Johar, Apoorva who give opportunities to us”.
