According to the story, Ranveer Singh is no longer in the running. Jio Studios has backed this movie, and the producers are presently debating whether to cast Allu Arjun from ‘Pushpa 2’ or Jr. NTR from ‘RRR’ as ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’. According to the source, one of them will get the project, and their names are on the table. There hasn't been any confirmation of it yet, though. Samantha Ruth Prabhu's name is reportedly also being considered for the movie, according to the report.

According to reports, the sci-fi movie ‘The Immortal Ashwatthama’ is based on the Mahabharata character Ashwatthama. Ronnie Screwala had previously supported the project, but once he left, it was in limbo. Then, though, allegations that Jio Studios had backed the movie started to circulate. The film has been in production for more than two years, and several financial and casting changes have been made. It now appears that South Asian celebrities will be involved in this movie.
