Amar Kaushik's Challenge: Bringing 'Mahavatar' to Life

Director Amar Kaushik discusses his upcoming film 'Mahavatar' with Vicky Kaushal, which he describes as a significant project rooted in his childhood experiences. While eager to explore new genres, he remains committed to the horror-comedy universe he's helped build. The film's production is set for next year.

Renowned director Amar Kaushik is gearing up for his upcoming film, 'Mahavatar', featuring Vicky Kaushal. The film, rooted in mythological themes, is a project Kaushik has long aspired to bring to life. It's a venture of substantial personal significance for him, inspired by his childhood experiences at Parashuram Kund in Arunachal Pradesh.

Kaushik expressed both excitement and apprehension about the project. While he always wanted to make this story, the need for substantial funding and advanced VFX were daunting hurdles. However, his collaboration with Vicky Kaushal, whom he considers perfectly suited for the role, has rekindled his enthusiasm.

In addition to 'Mahavatar', Kaushik continues to expand the horror-comedy universe with new films, but he harbors aspirations to explore genres like thrillers and romantic films. Despite these ambitions, he remains dedicated to the audience that has supported his work since his debut feature, 'Stree'.
