A | Deepika Padukone has been in the news throughout the year, primarily due to her upcoming projects. Initially, she was slated to collaborate with Prabhas in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit and the sequel to their film Kalki 2898 AD (2024). However, she eventually withdrew from both movies, reportedly because her request for an 8-hour work shift could not be accommodated. After this, Deepika joined Allu Arjun in Atlee's upcoming project, AA22xA6, and also started filming for Shah Rukh Khan's highly anticipated movie, King. Recent reports also suggest that Deepika is currently in discussions to co-star with Vicky Kaushal for the very first time.
A report by Mid-Day says that Deepika Padukone is a leading candidate to co-star with Vicky Kaushal in Amar Kaushik's film Mahavatar, a mythological drama based on the story of Lord Parashurama. A source was quoted as saying, “The team has been looking for someone who can bring gravitas and emotional depth to the role written opposite Parashurama. Deepika fits that space perfectly. Conversations have begun, but they are still at an early stage. She is among the top names the studio has engaged with.”

The report further suggests that Mahavatar focuses on Parashurama, known as the destroyer of evil on Earth, and the female lead will also have a strong character arc. The source shared, “Amar Kaushik has been clear from the beginning that the character must have equal footing in the narrative.”
It was previously reported that director Amar Kaushik and lead actor Vicky Kaushal have chosen to quit non-vegetarian food and alcohol in preparation for their upcoming film. Kaushik has already started this practice, while Vicky is expected to begin after concluding his work on Love & War, which also stars Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, and is being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
On the personal front, Vicky is currently enjoying fatherhood, having welcomed a son with his wife, Katrina Kaif, on November 7 this year.Also Read: Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata - Top 10 Cities Through The Lens Of Bollywood。
