Knowing Yash Raj Films' diktat to keep mum about their projects till they announce it, Vicky Kaushal seems to be facing a tough time. He has completed the shoot of Vijay Krishna Acharya's untitled film, co-starring Manushi Chhillar.

"What an absolute joyride this one has been. Wish I could share more details... ab ke liye itna hi," he posted.

The buzz is that it's a romantic comedy. Considering Yash Raj's recently announced slate of releases for 2021 does not include the film, Kaushal will have to be silent for long. What a pity cannot share his joy.

The actor is also sweating for his upcoming film Ashwatthama. The three-part modern-day superhero film, which has its roots in the Mahabharata, sees Vicky Kaushal as the mythological character who was given the boon of immortality.

"Takht was supposed to wrap up by December, and we were scheduled to kick off our film by early 2021. [Despite the change in the line-up], we are sticking to the schedule; the film will go on floors by April 2021. Vicky needs to train for three months for the movie. So, once he wraps up his Yash Raj Films' project, he will begin prepping in February," says Dhar, eager to reunite with Kaushal after the resounding success of Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019).

For his portrayal of Ashwatthama - the son of Dronacharya, the actor will have to train in horse-riding and various martial art forms, including krav maga and jujutsu. "He will have to weigh more than 100 kilos," chips in the director. Agreeing that the locations play a key role in such a subject, he is relieved to have ticked the item off his to-do list. "We will begin shooting in Europe, primarily the UK, and then head to Iceland. The final schedule will be in Mumbai. The plan may change depending on the COVID-19 crisis in these countries."
