Vicky Kaushal has already proven his ability to handle larger-than-life characters with his last project, Chhaava. Now, he is gearing up for another ambitious role in the mythological epic Mahavatar. Directed by Amar Kaushik, who is known for the success of Stree, the film will see Vicky playing Chiranjeevi Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu. The film is scheduled to go on floors in October. The eight-month gap before filming begins is intentional, as Vicky needs some time to transform his physique.
