Vicky Kaushal's Transformation for Mahavatar Revealed

11 Nov, 2025

Vicky Kaushal is all set to take on the role of Lord Parashurama in the highly anticipated film Mahavatar, directed by Amar Kaushik. This film is touted as one of the most ambitious Hindi films ever, promising a grand scale that showcases Indian mythology. As Vicky dives into the preparation for this challenging role, there have been swirling rumors about him giving up alcohol and non-vegetarian food to embody the character of the great sage.

In a recent interview, director Amar Kaushik addressed these rumors, expressing his astonishment at the stories circulating among fans and the media. He stated that these claims often come from nowhere and urged fans to refrain from believing such baseless tales. "Please, brothers, stop all this. Only believe in something when we say it," he emphasized, making it clear that these dietary changes were not true.

Some reports had suggested that Vicky decided to give up 'taamsik' foods, including alcohol and meat, on the advice of his father, Sham Kaushal. The intent behind this was reportedly to help Vicky connect more deeply with the simple-living nature of Lord Parashurama. However, fans have reacted skeptically to these claims, with many finding them far-fetched.

One fan pointed out that the rumors were unrealistic, noting that Vicky has previously shared how challenging it is for him to bulk up for roles. He has put in immense effort to gain weight for certain projects, which makes it unlikely for him to limit his diet when preparing for Mahavatar. Vicky's recent transformation for his role in Love and War post-Chhaava further supports this notion.

Amidst this buzz, Vicky recently welcomed his first child, a baby boy, with his wife Katrina Kaif. The couple shared their joy with fans through a heartfelt announcement on Instagram. Since tying the knot in 2021, Vicky and Katrina have remained in the spotlight, now sharing the beautiful journey of parenthood.

As anticipation builds for Mahavatar, fans continue to rally behind Vicky Kaushal, eager to see how he brings the legendary character of Lord Parashurama to life on screen.
