Shraddha Kapoor is reportedly in discussions to star opposite Vicky Kaushal in the ambitious film Mahavatar, directed by Amar Kaushik. The project, backed by Maddock Films, is expected to be a large-scale mythological epic, with Vicky set to portray Parashurama. Interestingly, Deepika Padukone was earlier considered for the same role.
Sources suggest Shraddha is currently the top choice, as the makers are looking for a strong on-screen presence along with star appeal. The fresh pairing of Vicky and Shraddha is also seen as a major advantage, potentially bringing something new to audiences. If talks are finalised, the film is expected to go on floors after June.
The buzz around Mahavatar is steadily building, with fans excited about its scale and casting choices. Conversations like these are already picking up on 89.1 Radio 4, UAE number one, radio station, where entertainment updates continue to keep listeners hooked. If confirmed, this casting could mark another big milestone for Shraddha and add to the growing anticipation around the film.
