The pandemic may have compelled several filmmakers to hit the pause button on their projects, but Aditya Dhar thanks his stars that his magnum opus The Immortal Ashwatthama has remained unaffected. The three-part modern-day superhero film, which has its roots in the Mahabharata, sees Vicky Kaushal as the mythological character who was given the boon of immortality.
"Takht was supposed to wrap up by December, and we were scheduled to kick off our film by early 2021. [Despite the change in the line-up], we are sticking to the schedule; the film will go on floors by April 2021. Vicky needs to train for three months for the movie. So, once he wraps up his Yash Raj Films' project, he will begin prepping in February," says Dhar, eager to reunite with Kaushal after the resounding success of Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019).
