As per Pinkvilla, the pre-production work for Mahavatar will begin early next year as the subject of this zone requires a certain scale.
“It’s undoubtedly the most ambitious film for both Maddock and Vicky Kaushal. The film requires 6 to 8 months plus of prep before going on floors, and that begins in 2025,” the source added.
The source concluded, “Dinesh Vijan is supremely confident on Chhaava, and is bowled over by Vicky’s performance in the film. The next project just reflects the faith they have on Chhaava.”
