The success of Uri: The Surgical Strike, his last offering with director Aditya Dhar had piqued audience interest in their next collaboration. However, Vicky Kaushal says Ashwathama, which was on the back-burner after being announced in October 2020, is still on hold. “We are waiting for a better time to shoot, where we are not worried about COVID and can shoot the film across the globe. It is a film that demands the attendance of a crew of 300, which is a bit of a nightmare, currently. So, it is important for us to do justice to it. It is not shelved, but it has been pushed,” says the actor.
