Aditya Dhar & Jio Studios at loggerheads over Vicky Kaushal in The Immortal Ashwatthama

Just before the pandemic, Ronnie Screwvala announced that he would be making a modern-day superhero film, The Immortal Ashwatthama bringing back the URI team of Aditya Dhar and Vicky Kaushal. In the pandemic, he backed out of the project due to budget issues and ever since then, Aditya Dhar has been making an attempt to revive the film with a new producer. He finally got Jio Studios on board the film, who green lit the script with a budget of Rs. 225 crores.

However, in the latest development, Jio and Aditya Dhar are at loggerheads over casting of the film. “The initial male lead of The Immortal Ashwatthama was Vicky Kaushal. Jio felt that a film of this budget won’t recover with the aforementioned cast. They requested Adi to bring in a fresh set of male and female lead, following which, Aditya Dhar narrated the script to Samantha, who agreed in principle to be a part of the film as female lead,” revealed a source to Bollywood Hungama.

Just when Aditya thought the issue was resolved came another problem. “The heads at Jio didn’t have an issue with the female lead, but the male lead. They felt investing Rs. 225 crores on Vicky Kaushal is a very risky proposition making recovery near impossible. They have been after Aditya to bring in a bigger star for the film or else part ways. Aditya on the other hand is sticking to his friend, Vicky Kaushal. who has already done months of hard work for the role of Ashwathhama,” the source further told us.

As things stand today, Jio is clear to back off if Aditya doesn’t change the cast. “In today’s time, when films are failing left right and center, budget is the most important thing and that has to be decided not just based on power of the script but also audience pull of the actors. A final call will be taken within a month on the future prospect of The Immortal Ashwatthama.”

While Jio is taking a financial decision, Dhar is thinking from its heart. Between heart and brain, it would be interesting to see, who wins!

SHOCKING! Paras Kalnawat will not be a part of Anupamaa anymore; Producer Rajan Shahi terminates the contract with actor

Paras Kalnawat, who plays the adorable second son of Anupamaa, garnered a lot of fame for his unconventional role in the Star Plus series. While the actor’s track has not been the focus for quite some time owing to the exit of his onscreen fiancé Nandini aka Anagha Bhosale, he was expected to return with a new track on the show. However, it seems that all of it is short-lived. With recent reports of the actor joining the Colors show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10, it seems that the makers are quite miffed with his entry on the dance reality show. In fact, producers of the show have terminated their contract on the grounds of breach of contract.

In a recent statement released by the production house, it has been said, “Producer Rajan Shahi, who produces Anupamaa on Star Plus, has taken a stand to terminate the contract of actor Paras Kalnawat who played Samar in the show on account of breach of contract for signing up a show on another channel without any prior intimation. Directors Kut and Rajan Shahi has always been accommodating to actors and never stop any actor’s growth. Even in the case of Paras, in the past, adjustments were made to accommodate the opportunities he used to get and take up, but with the consent of the production house.”  On the other hand, Rajan Shahi too confirmed the developments adding, “We as a production house won’t entertain breach of contract.  We have terminated his services as an actor with immediate effect. We wish him all the best for his future endeavors.”

Anupamaa is a prime time show that has been ruling the TRP charts for the past few months. A new leading lady was brought on board to play the love interest of Samar who was still reeling from the after effects of his breakup with Nandini. Now, with the exit of Paras as Samar, it is yet to be seen who will fill the shoes of Anupama’s second son on the show. On the other hand, the actor was recently confirmed as the contestant of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10.
