The Immortal Ashwatthama is finally going on floors; Vicky Kaushal & Samantha to shoot two parts in one go

The Immortal Ashwatthama is undoubtedly one of the most talked about films of Bollywood. Fans were super excited when Vicky Kaushal and director Aditya Dhar announced that they will be reuniting for this spectacle after blockbuster hit Uri: The Surgical Strike, which was their first film together. But the project has seen many hurdles in the past few months. First, lead actress Sara Ali Khan was replaced by Samantha and then rumors suggested that makers might drop Vicky from the film as well. Later it was reported that The Immortal Ashwatthama has been shelved due to budget issues.

Well, after so many delays, the film is now back on track. Vicky is very much a part of the project, which is now being bankrolled by Jio. In a report shared by Pinkvilla, a source was quoted saying, “Vicky and Aditya share ample of passion for The Immortal Ashwatthama. The film is like a dream they saw together, and hence Adi going ahead with the film without Vicky was never a question. There was some back and forth happening over the last few months on the budget and casting front, but the film is now all geared up to go on floors next summer.”
