Aditya Dhar’s dream of making “Ashwatthama” on the budget he had envisioned with Vicky Kaushal in the lead had come to an end. Ronnie Screwvala, Aditya’s collaborator of “Uri,” had cancelled the movie primarily because he believed it to be an unprofitable endeavour.
Now, since about the middle of last week, there have been rumours that the female protagonist in “Ashwatthama” could be the recently renowned Samantha Prabhu.
We now know that “Ashwatthama” is progressing normally, however the latest information indicates that Aditya has contacted Jio Studios about the project. This switch was disclosed to us by a source of ETimes.
Jio Studios has already agreed in principle, hasn’t reduced the budget, and is quickly preparing the ground for the shoot to begin in May 2023. The scene might further improve in 2024 as it is sure that the movie cannot be released in 2023 if it rolls only in its fifth month.
