Sara Ali Khan and Vicky Kaushal were initially supposed to headline the sci-fi/adventure film The Immortal Ashwatthama.
The ambitious project by director Aditya Dhar was on the back burner owing to financial constraints.
However, buzz around The Immortal Ashwatthama has picked up again. Instead of Sara Ali Khan, it is being rumoured that The Family Man 2 actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is allegedly being considered for female lead.
“The Immortal Ashwatthama will go on floors in 2023. The casting is underway, and the filmmaker has finally aligned his vision with the financials that his studio partner has approved. Samantha has liked the world of Aditya, however, the talks are still in a very advanced stage,” a source told Pinkvilla.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu Bollywood Projects:
Samantha is debuting in Bollywood with an Ayushmann Khurrana film. She has a project lined up with Taapsee Pannu as well. She’s also starring in the Citadel series along with Varun Dhawan.
