Earlier, I would be asked, ‘Why are you working with Salman again?’ Now, he can be asked this question. We would tell the media that he is a nice guy, but no one believed it. Today, they know he is a good guy, so they won’t have a problem. There is nothing he did that was bad, but only through the media, we would come...

Chhaava’s success gives a big boost to Vicky Kaushal’s star power as well. Many are already calling him the next superstar after Ranbir Kapoor. And the fact that he’s popular was evident even before Chhaava, noted trade veteran Taran Adarsh. He gave the example of Sam Bahadur (2023), which was not the usual mainstream film and yet collected Rs. 92.98 crores. Taran Adarsh said, “Despite clashing with Animal, Sam Bahadur did so well at the box office. Hence, the acceptability has come in. Now, he needs a Pan-India reach to be a superstar. This film has given him that platform. He’s something else in Chhaava!” Trade analyst Atul Mohan, in agreement, said, “Vicky Kaushal is a hard-working actor and has now got its due. After being there for so many years in the industry, you need that one big film (to take you to a different level). Chhaava fits the bill as a major part of its success goes to him. Also, to deliver a Rs. 400-500 crore grosser is no mean feat.”...
