Vicky to give up alcohol, non-veg for 'Mahavatar'? Director reveals
What's the story
Vicky Kaushal is set to star in the upcoming film Mahavatar, directed by Amar Kaushik. The movie will explore the life of Lord Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. There were recent reports that Kaushal has already started preparing and will give up alcohol and non-vegetarian food to get into character. However, director Kaushik has now dismissed these rumors.
Director's response
Here's what Kaushik said
Speaking to Filmygyan, Kaushik was asked about the rumors. He said, "Again, I say the same thing ki kahan se kuch bhi cheez nikalti hai. Please bhaiyon band karo. Jab hum bolein tabhi uska vishwas karo (something comes out of nowhere. Please, brothers, stop all this. Only believe in something when we say it)." The film is likely to premiere in 2026.
Fan reactions
Fans react to the news
Fans were quick to agree with Kaushik's statement, saying the rumors were unrealistic. One fan said, "That rumor was always stupid; it is hard for Vicky to bulk up, he has said so himself and has to work hard to gain weight." "That is why you see how easy it was for him to lose weight for Love and War after Chhaava." Another said, "Who even believes these rumors?"
