Dhar’s Blockbuster Ride: Ashwatthama Awaits
Aditya Dhar’s Sensation: Will he create another blockbuster with 800 crore Ashwatthama? Acclaimed director Aditya Dhar is gearing up to helm his dream project, Ashwatthama, a film to be made with a massive budget. Having created a sensation with ‘Dhurandhar’, he is now set to captivate audiences once again with this mythological movie.
Dhar made his directorial debut in 2019 with ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’, and in his very first attempt, he captured everyone’s attention by winning a National Award for Best Director. His subsequent film, ‘Dhurandhar’, created a sensation, garnering attention not just in Bollywood but also among Telugu audiences. Coming to the audience with no prior expectations, this film went on to collect over 1350 crore, setting a new record. Its sequel, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, released on March 19, 2026, coinciding with Ugadi, also achieved significant success, collecting over 147 crore on its opening day and currently performing exceptionally well at the box office.
With both these films creating a stir, everyone is now surprised to learn about director Aditya Dhar’s dream project. It is reported that he will be directing a mythological film with an 800 crore budget. While there was speculation for some time that ‘Dhurandhar 3’ would follow ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, Bollywood media reports now suggest that Aditya Dhar is planning to bring his long-cherished dream project, Ashwatthama, to the screen. In 2021, he intended to make this high-budget socio-fantasy film with Vicky Kaushal as the lead, but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 situation and budget constraints. However, witnessing the ‘Dhurandhar’ magic created by Aditya Dhar, producers are now reportedly vying for this ambitious project. This indicates that this visual spectacle could go on floors very soon. Aditya Dhar, who has been keen to bring his dream project to life for the past five years, has now demonstrated his capabilities with ‘Dhurandhar’, thus paving the way for his dream film. It remains to be seen what kind of sensation this movie will create once it begins production.
Director’s Journey: From RJ to Dream Project

Beyond directing, he also co-founded “B62 Studio” with his brother Lokesh Dhar and produced films like ‘Article 371’. It is also known that he married popular actress Yami Gautam in 2021.
The news of Aditya Dhar directing Ashwatthama is certainly good tidings for his fans. We await to see what kind of success this film will achieve, as it is being developed amidst colossal expectations.
Looking Ahead
