Vicky Kaushal and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra were spotted with Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment in Mumbai last week, sparking speculation about a possible collaboration between the three. According to Pinkvilla, Vicky, Rakeysh, and Ritesh are collaborating on a film based on Mahabharat's Karna.

The project is extremely close to Rakeysh’s heart and has been wanting to make a film on it for many years now. Vicky will play the titular role in this mythological-drama, which will be narrated from the perspective of Karna. Excel Entertainment will be producing the film and the trio are extremely excited to collaborate on this one. The movie is expected to roll by the end of this year, and Vicky will start with his prep closer to the shooting date

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.
