Even though Vicky Kaushal, Laxman Utekar and Dinesh Vijan’s first film together is awaiting a theatre release, the actor, director and producer are looking to team up again. This time around, the director is bringing to screen the larger-than-life story of a historical figure and Vicky is said to be his first choice. Laxman has reportedly discussed the biopic with Vicky, who is equally excited by the subject. Sources inform that scripting is still underway and will be locked post the final reading. Interestingly, the new film is also a huge step for the director, who has previously told stories like Luka Chuppi (2019) and Mimi (2021). He is keen to make the big-scale warrior film after the release of his yet-untitled romantic comedy with Vicky and Sara Ali Khan. The period drama is expected to go on floors only in the later part of 2023. By then, the actor will wrap up Meghna Gulzar’s biopic on legendary Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, and his next with Aanand L Rai.  

Big win for Rajamouli
