Among the most ambitious projects in Bollywood is Vicky Kaushal’s The Immortal Ashwatthama. Aditya Dhar’s directorial venture, which originally was to go on floors in April 2021, was put on hold due to logistical issues borne out of the pandemic. Now, one hears that though Dhar is slowly putting the superhero film back on track, the makers are keenly waiting to see Brahmāstra’s box-office fate before ascertaining its budget. With many big-ticket ventures sinking at the box office, the makers want to tread with caution. A trade insider reveals, “Ranbir Kapoor’s Brahmāstra is in a similar zone as The Immortal Ashwatthama, with both stories blending Indian mythology and superpowers. Brahmāstra’s performance will give an idea of the audience’s interest in such subjects. That’s why Ashwatthama producer Ronnie Screwvala is keen to see how the Ranbir and Alia Bhatt starrer fares before sealing his film’s budget. If it earns Rs 150-200 crore, it will give the Ashwatthama team the confidence to scale up their film to Rs 300 crore. They have the added advantage of time. Since the movie — which is currently in pre-production — will release only by 2025, the market will have hopefully improved.”
