It's been two years since the blockbuster military action film Uri: The Surgical Strike released on the big screen. The film stars Vicky Kaushal in the lead role and is directed by Aditya Dhar who made his directorial debut. Now, as Uri clocks two years, the actor-director duo has released the first look posters of their upcoming collaboration The Immortal Ashwatthama. In the film, which is futuristic sci-fi, based on a character from the chapter of Mahabharata, Vicky plays the titular role.
The actor shared the posters on his Instagram page and in a statement showed his excitement on the humongous project. Vicky stated, "Ashwatthama is Aditya's dream project and it required the backing of a visionary like Ronnie to bring this spectacle to audiences. 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."
Check out the posters below:
Meanwhile, Aditya said, "We are all overwhelmed with the love that URI has received over the last two years, and of course, with that love comes an added responsibility of living up to the expectations for our next collaborative venture. On Ashwatthama, 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. More than the pressure, 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."
Ronnie Screwvala who is also reuniting with Vicky and Aditya after Uri said, "Every film has its own journey, however, when the team of a National Award Winning-cum-blockbuster film that has been as loved as URI comes together, the expectations are bound to be high. It’s high on storytelling, deep in characters and revered in the world and visual effects. Language is not a barrier for this movie. We roll this year. 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."
