After the blockbuster success of Chhaava, Vicky Kaushal is gearing up for his most ambitious film, Mahavatar. The actor will portray the legendary warrior sage Parashurama in this big-budget entertainer.
According to a report by Mid-day, Vicky Kaushal will undergo a massive physical transformation for the role, gaining over 25 kilos to accurately portray Parashurama, who is described in ancient texts as having a towering presence.
Fitness coach Tejas Lalwani, who previously helped Vicky prepare for Chhaava, will train him for Mahavatar as well. Stree franchise director Amar Kaushik will helm the film, which is set to go on floors in December.
