Sham noted in his caption that it was noteworthy that Vishnuvardhan and Vicky, who were both in the shot with Shah Rukh, went on to win best actor and best director honors for their roles in the movies Shershah and Sardar Udham, respectively, in 2022. Vicky didn’t resemble himself at all in the photo from his school days. The actor stood next to Shah Rukh, who was sporting a black suit and long hair while portraying his role Asoka in the historical drama. Asoka, which was directed by Santosh Sivan, also starred Danny Denzongpa, Hrishitaa Bhatt, and Kareena Kapoor.

Sharing their photo, Sham wrote, “By God’s grace this photo was taken in 2001 during the shooting of Asoka in Film City (Mumbai). Vishnuvardhan was the assistant director and Vicky was studying in 8th standard. Nobody ever imagined that one day Vicky will join film line and in 2022 both of them will be winning best director and best actor awards respectively for Shershah and Sardar Udham. Destiny and God’s blessings… Rab di meher (blessings of God).”
