Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal is playing Lord Parashurama in Amar Kaushik’s upcoming film Mahavatar.
The first look of the movie, released long ago, created huge excitement among fans.
Both Vicky and director Amar have decided to quit alcohol and non-vegetarian food to stay focused and spiritually connected to the story. Moreover Parashurama is an avatar of Lord Vishnu who lived as a Brahmin.
Now the makers plan to begin preparations with a special pooja ceremony next year.
According to reports, Amar has already changed his diet, while Vicky will do so after finishing his current film Love and War. This is his way of showing respect for the powerful and divine character of Lord Parashurama.
Amar Kaushik shared that this project is very close to his heart, as he grew up near Parashuram Kund in Arunachal Pradesh.
The team had planned a Christmas 2026 release, but Mahavatar may now hit theatres in 2027.
