According to a source quoted by Bollywood Hungama, both Vicky and Amar have chosen to make personal sacrifices for the project. “A film like Mahavatar requires complete focus, and the duo want to give it their all to make it a visual spectacle. They’ve decided to give up non-veg food and start preparations with a traditional pooja ceremony next year,” the insider revealed.

The report further adds that Vicky will adopt these lifestyle changes once he wraps up Love and War, his upcoming film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, which is currently delayed. “While Amar has already made the shift, Vicky will follow once his current commitments end — it’s his way of showing respect to the part of Lord Parashurama,” the source added.
