Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal is set to star in Mahavatar, a mythological epic about Lord Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The film, directed by Amar Kaushik, is reportedly one of the most ambitious Hindi films ever made in terms of scale. Kaushal has begun prepping for the role, but rumors have circulated that he has given up alcohol and non-vegetarian food to get into character. However, in a recent interview, Kaushik expressed bewilderment at these claims, saying that they come from nowhere and should be ignored. The rumors suggested that Kaushal had adopted a strict 'taamsik' diet on the advice of his father, Sham Kaushal, to relate to the simple-living Lord Parashurama. However, fans have dismissed these claims as far-fetched, pointing out that Kaushal has previously spoken about his struggles to gain weight for roles. This comes as Kaushal and his wife, Katrina Kaif, recently welcomed their first child, a baby boy. The couple announced the news on their Instagram accounts, sharing a joint statement on Saturday. Kaushal and Kaif have been married since 2021.
