Shahid Kapoor was previously in talks with Mehra to work on the film, which was backed by Ronnie Screwvala. Things appear to have changed now, though. Vicky has earlier committed to play another Mahabharat character Ashwatthama in Aditya Dhar’s The Immortal Ashwatthama. The film had been put on hold a while back, but now is back on track as well.
Vicky is also working on Meghna Gulzar's Sam Bahadur, Shashank Khaitan's Mr Lele, and Laxman Utekar's next project with Sara Ali Khan. He's also in talks to play a key role in Rajkumar Hirani's upcoming film, which will star Shah Rukh Khan.
