Both, Vicky Kaushal and Shahid Kapoor have gained a lot of love for their latest performances and the fans are looking forth to their upcoming releases.
However, reports suggest that Vicky Kaushal has replaced Shahid Kapoor in a movie.
As per Pinkvilla, Vicky Kaushal, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, and Ritesh Sidhwani will be working together on a movie based on Mahabharat’s Karna.
Earlier, it was reported that Shahid Kapoor was in talks with Mehra to lead in this movie but looks like things have changed now.
A source informs, “The project is extremely close to Rakeysh’s heart and has been wanting to make a film on it for many years now. Vicky will play the titular role in this mythological drama, which will be narrated from the perspective of Karna. Excel Entertainment will be producing the film and the trio are extremely excited to collaborate on this one. The movie is expected to roll by the end of this year, and Vicky will start with his prep closer to the shooting date.”
Vicky has earlier played a Mahabharat character Ashwatthama, in Aditya Dhar’s The Immortal Ashwatthama. The movie was put on hold recently but is now back on track.
