As reported by Pinkvilla, “Vicky has committed to a rigorous six-month training program that includes physical transformation, bulking up, and a series of acting workshops tailored specifically for the film. ‘Amar has designed a very detailed prep module for Vicky. It’s not just about the physicality, but also about getting into the psychological and emotional graph of the character.’”

The film is scheduled to begin production in January 2027. It will be shot over an extensive one-year schedule, aiming to wrap by December 2027. During this time, Vicky plans to dedicate himself solely to Mahavatar, avoiding any other professional commitments to ensure continuity.

“Vicky is treating Mahavatar as a once-in-a-lifetime project. He wants to be fully invested, which is why he has consciously decided not to take up any other assignments during the shoot,” the source added. However, there remains a slight possibility of the actor taking on a quick project before Mahavatar begins. It will be only possible if it fits into his prep timeline.
