After the huge box office success of the movie ‘Uri’, Vicky Kaushal’s partner and director Aditya Dhar worked together again. But this time they both decided to team up for a film on a mythological theme from ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’.
With the announcement of this film two years ago, pre-production of the film was also being worked hard. In such a situation, after the relaxation of Corona-related restrictions, when news about the filming of this movie should have come out, then a bad news related to the movie has come to light.
The news of the closure of Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan starring ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’ has been a topic of discussion. In such a situation, when ABP News spoke to a source associated with the film, they did not clearly say anything about the film being archived. But the source definitely told ABP News: “The movie has been suspended indefinitely for the time being.” When asked about the reasons for doing so, the source said: “At this time it is not possible to give more details.”
ABP News also spoke with a well known Bollywood business expert about this new development related to ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’. He said: “Reports that the film was shelved are true. At a time when restrictions related to filming were lifted and all films were shot indiscriminately, ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’ was expected to be released. Pick up the pace. In such a situation, there is no point in putting the movie on hold. The movie has been archived. “
So why did producer Ronnie Screwvala, who produced ‘Uri’, think about not making his film more ambitious after so much preparation? Its ever-increasing budget is said to be the main reason for the film’s closure. It has also been said that in the planning and pre-production stage, the film’s budget was constantly increasing and Ronnie was not ready to take that risk.
The movie was already being made on a big budget, and in such a situation Ronnie Screwvala was unwilling to spend any more money on it. It is also said that there were many other differences between director Aditya Dhar and producer Ronnie Screwvala regarding the making of the film.
Notably, a great deal of expense was spent on reconnaissance of locations to shoot the film overseas, foreign crews hired to shoot the film’s great visual effects and stunt scenes, and pre-production of the film. Producer Ronnie Screwvala is said to have to suffer a loss of Rs 30 million due to the closing of the film in the middle. However, no person associated with the film has officially confirmed this figure.
ABP News also attempted to contact film producer Ronnie Screwvala and film director Aditya Dhar regarding all news regarding the closing of ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’, but as of this writing, we did not get any . response from both sides.
Notably, Vicky Kaushal had released the first glimpse of ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’ via social media on January 11 this year and expressed her excitement about playing the role of a superhero in this film.
