, Oct. 24 -- Stree director Amar Kaushik has described his upcoming mythological film Mahavatar, starring Vicky Kaushal, as one of the most significant and spiritually driven projects of his career.

The filmmaker, known for shaping Maddock Films' hit horror-comedy universe, said preparations for Mahavatar are underway, with work progressing on costumes and set designs. Shooting is expected to begin next year.

"This film is a very big responsibility for me. It has come from God because this character has been with me since childhood," Kaushik told PTI in an interview. "We used to live near the Parashuram Kund in Arunachal Pradesh and visited it often. Every visit fascinated me deeply, and that connection has stayed with me."
