Will Aditya Dhar revive Immortal Ashwatthama

Aditya Dhar is the cynosure of all eyes and he is currently basking under the blockbuster of Dhurandhar The Revenge.

He is winning all the accolades and now speculation is increasing his next project. Speculation is on whether he will revive his dream project Immortal Ashwatthama with Vicky Kaushal.

Infact, Immortal Ashwatthama happenned to be his first project before he moved ahead and came up with Dhurandhar. It was speculated that Aditya Dhar and Vicky Kaushal would once again collaborate after Uri-The Surgical Strike sensation.

But the reports had that the makers decided to cast other actor as Vicky Kaushal couldn't bring people to theatres. Later it was reported that the project was shelved as it required huge budget.

At that time, Aditya Dhar said  “We have put that on the back burner right now. I’ll be honest, the kind of vision we all had for that, it was too big to work for Indian cinema. The kind of VFX quality we were looking at, nobody has even strived for it here.”

He added, “James Cameron thought of Avatar 27 years ago, but he waited for the market to grow. The tech to come to that level where he could actually present it. I’m, of course, not him, but if we have to achieve excellence, there can’t be any mediocrity. I can’t make it for the heck of it. Even if it takes five years of my prime time, the film has to be brilliant.”

He continued “Once a film is made, then it remains for posterity. It can’t be something mediocre. It can’t have that intent that I just want to make money. It should strive for excellence. I truly believe that as makers we have a huge responsibility of representing our country in the right way,”

Now that Dhurandhar turned out to be a blockbuster and Vicky Kaushal earlier scored a hit with Chhaava, rumours have it that Aditya Dhar may revive Immortal Ashwatthama.
