Samantha Ruth Prabhu is one of the most in-demand actresses in the South Indian film industry, and it appears that she will succeed in Bollywood as well, as the actress is currently considering a number of projects. According to recent reports, she may play the lead role alongside Vicky Kaushal in Aditya Dhar's mythological epic The Immortal Ashwatthama.

Recently, it was reported that Samantha had signed on to star opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in a film made by Dinesh Vijan under the label Maddock Films. Now, the Uri filmmaker has approached Samantha to play the lead in his most ambitious project to date.

A source close to the development revealed, "Aditya has been working on to fine-tune the script of The Immortal Ashwatthama for a while now and is all gearing up to take it on floors in 2023. The casting is underway, and the filmmaker has finally aligned his vision with the financials that his studio partner has approved."

Aditya and Vicky are working together once again following the release of the director's debut film Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019), which is based on the surgical strikes conducted by the Indian government in Pakistan in response to the 2016 Uri incident. The hit movie, which made more than Rs 300 crore at the box office, won four National Film Awards, including one for Aditya as the Best Director and another for Vicky as the Best Actor.
