With his directorial debut Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019), Aditya Dhar showed that he had the gumption to mount a film on a grand scale. For his second venture, he has turned to a more ambitious subject — he hopes to tell the story of the mythological character Ashwatthama with The Immortal Ashwatthama. The director, who is currently developing the script, reveals that the Vicky Kaushal-fronted drama will be made as a trilogy.

"We are planning to make it in three parts. For now, we are concentrating on the first part because [making] that is such a huge task. If we perfect that, the second and third [editions] will be made," explains Dhar, who turns 37 today.
