Deepika Padukone in Mahavatar?
Deepika Padukone is reportedly in negotiations to play the female protagonist in Vicky Kaushal’s Mahavatar. “The team has been looking for someone who can bring gravitas and emotional depth to the role written opposite Parashurama,” the source revealed. Deepika is the ideal fit for that area. Though they are still in their early stages, conversations have started. She is one of the most well-known figures the company has worked with.
The insider added that the female lead character’s graph will be powerful even if the mythological drama is focused on the tale of Lord Parasurama. The insider continued, “Amar Kaushik has been clear from the beginning that the character must have equal footing in the narrative.”

About Mahavatar:
Filmmaker Amar Kaushik told the media that Mahavatar is a very passionate endeavor. There used to be a Parshuram Kund nearby when he was in school in Arunachal Pradesh. He used to ask his mother who Parshuram was, but she advised him not to discuss it too much.
“All I was informed was that he had a fiery temper. As a result, I found the persona to be really fascinating. “I was amazed to learn about it later in life, and I kept thinking, ‘Will I ever be able to make a film on this subject?'” he remarked.
