Vicky Kaushal to quit alcohol, non-veg for 'Mahavatar'

Entertainment Nov 05, 2025

Vicky Kaushal is making some serious lifestyle changes for his next big film, Mahavatar—he's reportedly quitting alcohol and non-veg food as a way of showing respect to the part of Lord Parashurama.
The film, directed by Amar Kaushik, starts shooting in late 2026 and aims for a 2028 release.
According to a source, both Vicky and the director are giving this project their complete focus.

Director Kaushik has already adopted the new lifestyle

A grand pooja will kick off Mahavatar's prep next year.
Director Kaushik has already adopted the new lifestyle, while Vicky plans to follow after finishing Love And War (with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt).
Interestingly, Ranbir is also changing up his habits for his role in Ramayana—proof that Bollywood stars are really committing to their craft lately!
