He said he felt actor’s aura when he first met Vicky Kaushal. “It felt like a lion was coming,” he said, and further said when they tested him for luck, they were 100 percent sure that Vicky is Sambhaji Maharaj. “When we saw him in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s outfit, holding that sword, everyone stood to attention,” he added.
