In 2010, he assisted Anurag Kashyap on the two-part film Gangs of Wasseypur. Neeraj Ghaywan was also one of the assistant directors in the film. When Neeraj began to work on his film Masaan, Kaushal too was called for an audition. According to Neeraj, initially, he had apprehensions about Kaushal doing the role of a small town Banaras boy because he came from a typical Punjabi background. But he got convinced about his ability after watching the audition.
Rating his performance as outstanding, Deepanjana Pal in her review of the film for First Post wrote that "There isn't a moment when Kaushal appears to be acting". "Kaushal is sincere, understated and has eyes brimming with yearning," wrote Raja Sen reviewing the film in Rediff.com. Shubha Shetty-Saha wrote in Midday, "he surprises with his nuanced and absolutely believable performance."
Kaushal's second film, Zubaan, was released in March 2016. The film is a coming-of-age story of a young boy (Vicky Kaushal) who stutters. His next release was Anurag Kashyap's psychological thriller Raman Raghav 2.0, in which he played a drug-addict cop. Kaushal later played a Pakistani army man in Meghna Gulzar's Raazi opposite Alia Bhatt.
Kaushal's upcoming film is Manmarziyaan which also had Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles. However, it has suffered from delay as the producer Anand L Rai has replaced the director Sameer Sharma due to differences in creative space. Now, Anurag Kashyap is the new director and Vicky will star in the film along with Abhishek Bachchan & Taapsee Pannu.
He will appear in Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju with Ranbir Kapoor.
