Actor Vicky Kaushal is filming Meghna Gulzar's "Sam Bahadur" with Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh. Rumour has it that after the movie ends, the actor and Samantha will start filming The Immortal Ashwatthama.
According to a source in Pinkvilla, Vicky will wrap up the Sam Bahadur biography by February of next year and then start preparing for and shooting "The Immortal Ashwatthama," a film that has been in pre-production for a very long time. Aditya Dhar will serve as the film's director.
According to the report, Vicky and Aditya have "ample amounts of passion" for The Immortal Ashwatthama. The movie is like a dream that they both shared. Thus Adi producing the film without Vicky was never in doubt.
Although there was some back and forth regarding the budget and casting for a while, the movie is now ready to begin production next summer. According to a source close to the production team, the film would have two parts and be shot in one go. The Immortal Ashwatthama is a very expensive movie. Aditya, the director, has worked incredibly hard over the past three years to have all the source material ready because he wants to take things to the next level.
According to the report, the movie may turn the tide for Hindi cinema. Aditya is excited to present the Immortal Ashwatthama from the Mahabharata in a superhero setting and thinks his tale should be widely shared. The source concluded, "He is all excited and is finally and genuinely poised to take the film on floors by next summer.
In addition to Ashwatthama, Vicky is expecting the release of three other movies: Govinda Naam Mera, Great Indian Family, and Laxman Uttekar's next.
