By News Helpline . Mumbai | Talented actor Vicky Kaushal remembers the times when he used to work as an assistant director and would usually stood outside the frames rather than being in one. The Uri actor shared pictures from the sets of director Anurag Kashyap's crime drama 'Gangs of Wasseypur' in which he worked as assistant.


Vicky took to his social media profile and dropped some unseen and candid pictures from the sets of the film. He captioned it, “Circa 2010- Jab hum frame se bahar khade hua karte thhey. #GangsOfWasseypur. The first clap was nerve wrecking... had to give it in front of @bajpayee.manoj Sir’s face, #RajeevRavi Sir behind the camera and @anuragkashyap10 Sir at the monitor...phatti padi thi. After many rehearsals in a closed room on location, I did give my first clap. “Scene 72A, shot 1, take 1” ... the first thing I said in front of a camera and that’s how it all started!”


In one picture Vicky is seen holding the clapperboard ahead of the shoot of a scene, the other one feature him standing near a wall as a scene from the film is being shot.


Before making his debut with director Neeraj Ghaywan's 'Masaan,' Vicky assisted Anurag Kashyap in the two installments of 'Gangs of Wasseypur,' following which he made appearances in Kashyap's 'Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana' and 'Bombay Velvet.'


Meanwhile on the work front, Vicky was last seen in Karan Johar's horror film 'Bhoot- Part One: The Haunted Ship' and will next be seen essaying the role of revolutionary freedom fighter Udham Singh in Shoojit Sircar's 'Sardar Udham Singh.'


The film features Vicky Kaushal in the lead role of Udham Singh, a revolutionary freedom fighter best known for his assassination in London of Michael O'Dwyer, the former lieutenant governor of Punjab in India, on 13 March 1940, in revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in 1919, for then which Singh was subsequently tried and convicted of murder, and was hanged on 31 July 1940.
