Actor Vicky Kaushal, known for his versatile roles in movies like Uri: The Surgical Strike, Bad Newz is once again winning hearts for his sweet gesture towards co-star Rashmika Mandanna during the song release event of their upcoming movie Chhaava.
In a video shared by Instant Bollywood on Instagram which is now going viral on social media, Vicky can be seen helping Rashmika in a wheelchair. Vicky's thoughtful act has left netizens praising him as a "gentleman".
The video shows Vicky accompanying the Pushpa star to the venue by pushing her wheelchair.
Praising the actor, one of the users wrote, "My favourite Vicky such a gentleman," while another labelled his act "sweet."
Recently, Rashmika Mandanna injured herself while working out in the gym. The diva has been advised rest by her doctors to ensure a complete recovery before returning to the film sets.
A few days back, Rashmika was seen struggling to walk at the airport. Visuals of her limping and using a wheelchair have sparked concern among the fans and her well-wishers.
Chhaava to release on Feb 14
Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava will see Kaushal in the role of Maratha emperor Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, who was the son of Maratha empire founder Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Also starring Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna, Chhaava marks Kaushal's second collaboration with Utekar after 2023's family drama movie Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.
The film is set to release in theatres on February 14.
In other news, one of the songs of the movie recently sparked a controversy and faced objection from politicians and history enthusiasts. Utekar on Monday said the "lezim" dance scene will be removed from the movie.
The filmmaker announced his decision after he discussed the issue with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray at the latter's residence here earlier in the day.
The film's trailer, released earlier this week, has a sequence in which Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, who portray Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Maharani Yesubai, are seen dancing with the "lezim", a traditional musical instrument associated with Maharashtra's cultural heritage.
