When director Aditya Dhar announced The Immortal Ashwatthama with Vicky Kaushal in 2020, it instantly became a film to look forward to. In an anti-climax of sorts, however, the ambitious sci-fi spectacle has yet to go on floors. Recently, it was also reported that Kaushal is no longer a part of the project and the makers are keen to cast Telugu star Allu Arjun in the titular role. Despite the hurdles, the director is far from letting go of his passion project. Production designer Saini S Johray says pre-production on The Immortal Ashwatthama is underway. “We have been prepping for the last five months. I have 35 designers in my team,” he shares.
