2024's Kalki 2898 AD set multiple box office records. Tollywood Rebel Star Prabhas played the lead character Bhairava and the movie crossed the Rs 1000 crore mark. However, Big B's powerful performance as the Immortal Ashwatthama overshadowed Prabhas' character. It won't be wrong to say that Amitabh Bachchan stole the show as the Immortal Ashwatthama. Well, recent reports suggest that Amitabh Bachchan might join Vijay Deverakonda in a movie with a historical backdrop.

The potential pairing of Vijay Deverakonda with the legendary actor indeed sounds exciting. Moreover, a faceoff between the duo would be a cinematic treat for moviegoers. However, at the same time, it has raised concerns among fans of the Kushi actor as Bachchan's commanding presence might overshadow his character and once again the Piku actor might steal the show.
Well, if the reports are anything to go by, fans have to wait if VD agrees to the grand opportunity of sharing screenspace with Sr AB as well as the credits.
However, there is no official confirmation regarding Big B's involvement in the project, tentatively titled VD14. Meanwhile, the project has already drawn the attention of moviegoers as the Liger actor will team up with Rahul after their hit flick Taxiwaala. The yet-to-be-titled flick will be produced under Mythri Movie Makers. Even reports suggest that Adipurush fame Ajay-Atul have been roped in for composing music. Moreover, Hollywood actor Arnold Vosloo has been confirmed to play a pivotal role in the movie.
