After the release of the Dhurandhar trailer, many from the film industry gave it a shoutout on social media.

Post their multi-crore grossing hit, Aditya and Vicky were set to reunite for the sci-fi epic The Immortal Ashwatthama. The movie, pegged back then as a one-of-its kind mythological actioner, was announced in 2020. However, after initial shooting, the team felt unconvinced about taking the project forward and it got shelved.

It is reported that while some portions of the movie were shot, the budget skyrocketed, making it a difficult bet. In interviews later on, both Vicky and Aditya confirmed that The Immortal Ashwatthama was indeed scrapped. After this, Aditya started working on Dhurandhar with a new cast and is all set to release it on the big screens. Now, its also uncertain whether the director and Vicky will ever reunited for a movie or not.

Meanwhile, Vicky is currently busy with the shoot of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War opposite Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. He is also set to feature in Mahavatar, an upcoming mythological epic starring the Masaan actor as Lord Parashurama. It is directed by Amar Kaushik.
