After the massive success of Chhaava, Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films are teaming up again with Vicky Kaushal for a new epic titled Mahavatar. The film will bring to life the story of Lord Parshurama and his legendary journey.
Mahavatar will be directed by Amar Kaushik, known for Stree 2, one of 2024’s biggest hits. Reports say the film’s writing has already begun, and Maddock plans to create it on a grand scale with extensive visual storytelling.
Sources reveal that both Vicky Kaushal and Amar Kaushik have decided to give up non-vegetarian food and alcohol while working on Mahavatar. They reportedly want to stay focused and maintain purity during the creative process.
According to insiders, a project of this scale demands complete dedication. Both Vicky and Amar aim to make Mahavatar an intense cinematic experience that captures the essence of faith and discipline.
The team will begin preparations with a pooja ceremony before shooting starts in mid-2026. Amar has already changed his food habits, and Vicky will join him after finishing Love and War with Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Their decision to abstain from meat and alcohol has sparked mixed reactions online. Some viewers call it a sincere gesture, while others dismiss it as a promotional move. Still, curiosity around Mahavatar continues to grow.
Fans are eager to see what Vicky delivers after his acclaimed role in Chhaava. They also wonder if he’ll continue his new lifestyle beyond the film’s release. The shoot begins in late 2026, with a 2028 release planned.
The project will take about a year to film, followed by six months of post-production. Heavy VFX work will help build the world of Mahavatar, making it one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious mythological dramas.
