Vicky Kaushal, known for his impressive versatility and celebrated status in Bollywood, is continuing to make waves with his acting prowess. Following the anticipation surrounding his films 'Chhaava' and 'Love & War', the actor has now signed on for an even bigger project. He is reportedly set to portray the legendary figure of Lord Parshuram in the upcoming grand-scale movie titled 'Mahavatar.'
Vicky Kaushal will star in this ambitious film produced by Dinesh Vijan. The film produced by Dinesh Vijan will be directed by 'Stree 2' and 'Bhediya' fame director Amar Kaushik. The makers of the film released the first look with a motion poster featuring Vicky in a fierce avatar as Lord Parashurama.
Sharing the motion poster, the makers captioned it as, "Dinesh Vijan brings to life the story of the eternal warrior of dharma!

It's the most ambitious film at Maddock and they plan to bring it to the cinema-going audience with utmost pride. The film is slated to release on Christmas 2026.
This role represents an exciting new venture for Vicky. For those unfamiliar, Parshuram is a revered figure in Hindu mythology known for his strength, courage, and unwavering discipline—qualities that Vicky is expected to embody with his distinct acting style.
Vicky, who has delivered powerful performances in films like 'Masaan', 'Uri: The Surgical Strike', and 'Raazi', will face a new challenge in bringing the warrior sage to life. His most recent appearance was in 'Bad Newz', which did not resonate with audiences.
After treating the audience to a power-packed teaser of 'Chaava', Vicky Kaushal is all set to make his mark as Parashurama in 'Mahavatar.'
