After roping in Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan, the makers of the upcoming sci-fi film The Immortal Ashwatthama have now approached seasoned actor Suniel Shetty for an important role.
Sharing some details, a source in the know tells a publication, “The Immortal Ashwatthama is among the costliest films to be made in Bollywood and the makers are going all out to get a huge ensemble on board the film. Recently, director Aditya Dhar initiated a conversation with Suniel Shetty for a very important role in the film, and the actor too has shown keen interest in coming on board. The talks are in very nascent stages at the moment.”
The source goes on to add that the makers are looking to lock the entire star cast by mid-August as the idea is to take the film before cameras in September.
