About Mahavatar
Mahavatar is expected to begin filming towards the end of 2026 and will reportedly release in 2028. The project is said to require at least a full year of production, followed by another six months of post-production, including extensive VFX work to bring the world of Parashurama to life.
On the Work Front
Currently, Amar Kaushik is working on the pre-visualisation (pre-vis) phase of the film, while Vicky Kaushal is busy wrapping up Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
According to the report, Vicky Kaushal plans to adopt the dietary restrictions once Love and War completes filming, considering it a gesture of respect for the divine role of Lord Parashurama.
