Vicky Kaushal now thinks of his next move.

A source close to the actor shared, “Vicky is currently down south where he is shooting for Shashank Khaitan’s Mr Lele along with Kiara Advani. Once he wraps up the film, he doesn’t have any other films to shoot. The actor is currently reading a few scripts but at the same time, he has decided to start shooting for the biopic on Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw which is directed by Meghna Gulzar. The actor has started preparing for the role and is already discussing the project with Meghna in detail.”

The source further added, “Vicky had currently beefed up for his character in The Immortal Ashwatthama but the actor will have to do away with it as Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw had a lean physique. With the film spanning a few decades, Vicky’s character will be seen ageing in the course of the narrative because of which he will be having more than one look in the film. The film will require a lot of pre-production and the makers will soon start with the work.”
