The Immortal Ashwatthama, based on a character from Indian mythology, is heading to cinemas worldwide.

According to Variety, the film, from RSVP, will be a “futuristic science fiction VFX-laden extravaganza” with Vicky Kaushal in the lead.

The movie is being made by the team behind the award-winning Indian film Uri.

“Every film has its own journey, however, when the team of a national award winning and blockbuster film that has been as loved as ‘Uri’ comes together, the expectations are bound to be high,” said producer Ronnie Screwvala. “Language is not a barrier for this movie. I can’t wait to see Aditya’s vision translate to this spectacle on screen. I have to say this is by far the most ambitious movie I have attempted and we would love to see this one reach out to the widest audiences in India and around the world.”

“We are working hard to create a visual spectacle that audiences across India would have never seen before. I promise, this would not just be a film, but an experience,” added director Aditya Dhar. “I am taking this film as a responsibility of telling this epic story, in the way it is meant to be told, and I hope, audiences shower the same love to ‘Ashwatthama,’ as they did to ‘Uri’.”

“Ashwatthama is Aditya’s dream project and it required the backing of a visionary like Ronnie to bring this spectacle to audiences,” said Kaushal. “It’s going to be a new space for me as an actor, exploring the newest form of technology alongside acting. Can’t wait to start the journey soon with this wonderful team.”
