The Immortal Ashwatthama is expected to be an action-based superhero film set in modern times. Dhar had been to the US to work on the script of the film. Earlier, the director said that the entire film will be shot in Greenland, Tokyo, New Zealand, and Namibia. The post-production, including the VFX, will be done in the US. Dhar also said that he has carefully planned Kaushal’s appearance for the film and it will involve the actor gaining and losing a lot of weighting throughout the filming. He also mentioned that the appearance of Kaushal in The Immortal Ashwatthama would come across as a surprise for his fans. The Immortal Ashwatthama will go on floors from April 2021, Press Trust of India had earlier reported. Kaushal will be receiving training in horse-riding and various martial art forms including kravmaga and jujutsu.
