Speaking about the film, Sachin said, “As the name says, this film is about Ashwatthama from Mahabharat. He is immortal and believed to be present even today. The idea is to bring the story of Ashwatthama in the present time, and explore the concept of immortality. I don’t want to reveal much about the film but this film is big action scale genre and the moment we bring immortal character in the film, and it opens up possibility as a filmmaker and writer to explore the dramatic scenes. The character of Ashwatthama is something that fascinated me since childhood and I always wanted to make a film about this character, and I’m very happy finally this film is getting launched. I’ve spent a lot of time with Shahid discussing creative things. I’m looking forward to start this project.’
