Talk in tinsel town is that after much back-and-forth, director Aditya Dhar’s The Immortal Ashwatthama is being revived. The mythological epic, which was to mark the reunion of Vicky Kaushal and Aditya after Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019), was first announced before COVID-19 struck. However, after the budget had to be reworked in the aftermath of the pandemic, it was put on the backburner. Now, we hear that Aditya is reviving his dream project, albeit with Ranveer Singh. The makers have reportedly initiated discussions with the actor to play the titular role based on the character in the epic, Mahabharata. If things work out, the actor will begin rigorous prep required for the role. Apart from undergoing physical transformation, Ranveer will also need to train in different martial arts forms, sword-fighting and archery. It remains to be seen if Samantha, who was roped in opposite Vicky initially, will continue to be associated with the project as it will require a new set of dates. The makers are likely to make an official announcement only after things are finalised.
