Is Vicky Kaushal’s ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’ shelved due to budget issues? – Times of India

Vicky Kaushal and filmmaker Aditya Dhar joined forces to write yet another exciting story after the success of ‘URI’. The duo announced ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’, which is being billed as a superhero movie. However, it looks like this ambitious project by Dhar has run into trouble. ETimes has it that ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’ has been shelved due to budget issues. Last month it was reported that the film’s team was scheduled to begin shooting in Europe, but their plans were delayed as the crew had not received visa clearance on time.

The film was reportedly scheduled to go on floors in mid-August but now it seems ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’ may not see the light of the day. Interestingly, reports suggested that Sara Ali Khan had been roped in as the leading lady opposite Vicky Kaushal in this sci-fi adventure drama, however the makers had not confirmed the casting.

On the second anniversary of ‘Uri – The Surgical Strike’ this year, Vicky Kaushal had unveiled the first look posters of ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’, which had the vibe of a futuristic, sci-fi thriller. Speaking about the movie Vicky had said in a statement, “Ashwatthama is Aditya’s dream project and it required the backing of a visionary like Ronnie to bring this spectacle to audiences. It’s going to be a new space for me as an actor, exploring the newest form of technology alongside acting. Can’t wait to start the journey soon with this wonderful team.”
