The first look of The Immortal Ashwatthama was unveiled in 2021.
The makers of Amar Ashwatthama have approached Shah Rukh Khan, Jr NTR and Ram Charan for the lead roles as they plan to set the film on a big budget.
Aditya Dhar’s much-awaited sci-fi film The Immortal Ashwatthama was announced for 2021 with Vicky Kaushal in the lead role. However, later news came that Ranveer Singh has replaced him. At the same time, the production company also shifted from Ronnie Screwvala to Jio Studios. Now, as per the latest reports Jio Studios has axed Ranveer Singh and is looking to cast pan India superstars for the lead role.
According to ETimes, the makers of The Immortal Ashwatthama have approached Shah Rukh Khan, Jr NTR and Ram Charan for the lead role as they are planning to set the film on a big budget. While there is no confirmation from the filmmakers, it is expected that one of these superstars will be helming the ambitious project. Earlier, there were reports that Pushpa: The Rise fame Allu Arjun was approached to play the same role in the film.
Amar Ashwatthama Budget:
The makers of The Immortal Ashwatthama have reportedly decided to increase the budget of the film to over Rs 100 crore with an aim to provide a breathtaking experience for the audience. Despite Aditya Dhar’s past success with the “less-is-more” approach in Uri, the director has changed his priorities and is now ready to think and spend big for his ambitious sci-fi project.
Aditya Dhar has previously emphasized his preference for working within a controlled budget, as it keeps his team motivated and creative. He aims to make films that look bigger than their actual budget and has previously achieved this with Uri, which was made on a budget of Rs 25 crore, but was a much more expensive film. However, with The Immortal Ashwatthama, it seems that Aditya is now willing to increase the budget significantly to provide a more immersive experience for the audience. In an old interview, Aditya Dhar said, “I fear that unlimited budget will make me lazy as a filmmaker. I would prefer to work within a controlled budget. My aim as a filmmaker is to make a film as big as possible.” I want to show something that is more spectacular than what the budget suggests. I want to spend Rs 30 crore. But it should look like a Rs 150 crore film.” Aditya Dhar mentioned that The Immortal Ashwatthama will take place in a completely different world from Uri but will still take place in a real location.
As per multiple media reports, Samantha Ruth Prabhu may be roped in as the female lead for The Immortal Ashwatthama. The shooting of the film is expected to begin later this year.
