Ranveer Singh to replace Vicky Kaushal in Aditya Dhar The Immortal Ashwatthama?

The Immortal Ashwatthama starring Vicky Kaushal as the main lead was announced by the makers back in 2021. However, Aditya Dhar's directorial went through some changes over time. Reportedly, Ranveer Singh has replaced the Uri actor as the main lead in the film.

However, some reports suggest that Ranveer Singh's association with the film isn't true. According to Bollywood Hungama, the makers of the film The Immortal Ashwatthama are currently trying to get a South Indian actor on board. This is because it will attract more viewers and will become a pan-Indian movie. However, no official statement has been released by the makers regarding these recent changes.

He also disclosed that each time a movie is bigger than him or any other actor attached to the film, the makers have to choose a time to start making the film.
