Vicky Kaushal recounts the terrifying tale of nearly being attacked by the sand mafia in Gangs of Wasseypur.

Speaking with Tanmay Bhat on his YouTube channel, Vicky Kaushal recounted an incident in which, while working on Gangs of Wasseypur, he nearly was beaten up by the sand mafia.

He claimed that although the coal smuggling depicted in the movie was factual when it was filmed, there was an incident when they attempted to get pictures of illicit sand mining.

 

"I was baffled because that was the first time I realized that this happens so openly that you wouldn’t feel that this is actual smuggling going on; you would feel that it is a properly run business because there weren’t just two trucks standing there, there were 500 trucks," Vicky revealed.

 

He also mentioned that some people showed there when they were discreetly filming them. Vicky and his team were surrounded by five hundred individuals. The elderly camera attendant phoned the film unit to inform them that they wouldn't be able to get the camera in time due to an unforeseen circumstance.

 

The person present assumed the cameraman was phoning a powerful person after hearing him speak on the phone. "That man slapped the cameraman, snatched the camera from him, and threatened us that they would break the camera. We both were about to get beaten up, but we somehow escaped," Kaushal remembered.
