Filmmaker Amar Kaushik has dismissed viral rumours claiming that he and actor Vicky Kaushal have given up alcohol and non-vegetarian food for their upcoming mythological epic Mahavatar, inspired by the lore of Lord Parshurama.
A short interview clip of Amar Kaushik is trending online, where he calls the claims “insane” and asks fans not to believe clickbait stories without credibility.
The speculation began around November 7, 2025, when several social media posts suggested that both celebrities were making major lifestyle changes to prepare for the film.
Amar Kaushik has clarified that the reports are baseless and spread by trolls and unreliable pages chasing engagement. He urged everyone to focus on verified news instead of falling for misleading updates.
Mahavatar, produced by Maddock Films, marks Amar Kaushik’s most ambitious project after the success of Stree 2. Although buzz around the film remains strong, the team has not yet confirmed an official release date. A deleted report had earlier hinted at a possible 2028 premiere.
Amar’s clarification highlights the need to check facts before sharing news. Fans of both Amar and Vicky Kaushal now await confirmed updates, confident that the filmmaker’s grounded approach will reflect in the storytelling of Mahavatar as well.
