Shraddha Kapoor in talks for female lead opposite Vicky Kaushal in ‘Mahavatar’
Shraddha Kapoor is reportedly in discussions to join Vicky Kaushal in the upcoming mythological epic ‘Mahavatar’, according to industry sources familiar with the project.
The film, directed by Amar Kaushik, is currently in the advanced stages of pre‑production, with casting decisions expected to be finalised in the coming weeks. Kapoor is understood to be the leading contender for the principal female role, with talks described as active and progressing positively.
If confirmed, the film would mark the first on‑screen collaboration between Kapoor and Kaushal, a pairing that has already generated considerable interest within the industry. The makers are said to be seeking a cast that can balance the scale of the narrative with strong emotional performances, a factor believed to have placed Kapoor high on the shortlist.
