Director Aditya Dhar's 'The Immortal Ashwatthama' Gets Shelved Over Budget Issue

Mumbai, April 28 - Filmmaker Aditya Dhar has been working on his passion project The Immortal Ashwatthama for a long time. It was announced in January 2021 with Vicky Kaushal as the lead. RSVP was on board to produce this mega-budget movie. ## However, the movie has been in trouble which eventually led RSVP to back out as the studio was unable to allot the huge budget Dhar was asking for. Vicky Kaushal too left the movie due to his other commitments. Just when the movie was on the verge of getting shelved, Dhar tried to revive the project by offering it to Ranveer Singh by bringing Jio Studios on board to produce. ## Well, it seems the movie is still not finding its place as the latest reports state that Jio Studios too backed out, and the movie has been shelved for the time being. According to Peepingmoon.com, the studio didn't approve the budget Dhar was asking for as there is a risk involved in making films with huge budgets in the post-pandemic times. ## The report further stated Aditya Dhar has halted the pre-production work and the crew involved with this film has also been relieved now as he understands that there is definitely a big risk with this project. However, "The Immortal Ashwatthama" is Dhar's passion project and he will definitely return to bring it to the big screen but not right now. ## Over the last one year, the movie has been offered to many actors, including Yash, Allu Arjun, and Jr. NTR, but things didn't materialize with them. Ranveer Singh, however, was interested and even gave his verbal nod. Dhar is now looking to explore other projects. ## Stay tuned...
