In ‘Kohrra,’ co-created by Sudip Sharma and directed by Randeep Jha, Vicky’s character Balbir Singh begins on a police procedural that gradually unravels into an exploration of complex relationships. One of the most memorable aspects of the series is Balbir’s tumultuous relationship with his daughter Nimrat, played by the talented Harleen Sethi. Vicky excels in depicting a range of emotions, from passionate intensity to vulnerability and heartfelt empathy.
Despite playing a policeman in both ‘Kohrra’ and a previous Netflix series titled ‘CAT,’ Vicky explains that the characters are distinct, showcasing contrasting shades.
While academic study provides a foundation, he believes that the true development of characters comes from within. The transformation of Balbir Singh in ‘Kohrra’ required subtlety and authenticity, a portrayal that was close to life and emanated from the depths of his soul.
He has also appeared in Abhishek Chaubey’s ‘Udta Punjab’ to Sudip Sharma’s ‘Paatal Lok,’ where he has showcased his versatility and ability to immerse himself in diverse characters.
