Hrithik Roshan wraps up the first schedule of Vikram Vedha

Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan has wrapped up the first shooting schedule of his much-awaited film Vikram Vedha in Abu Dhabi. The action-thriller is the official remake of the cult 2017 Tamil film of the same name.

Produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Reliance Entertainment in association with Friday Filmworks and YNOT Studios, the remake is being helmed by Pushkar & Gayatri, who directed the original.

Vikram Vedha has completed its first shooting schedule spanning 27 days in Abu Dhabi with Hrithik Roshan. The second schedule began with Saif Ali Khan in Lucknow. In addition to Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan, the remake also has Radhika Apte playing a pivotal role.

Pushkar & Gayatri say, “We are delighted to be working with Hrithik and Saif – two great actors. With a superb team around us, we hope to deliver a film that will be intense and exciting.”

Vikram Vedha, based on the Indian folktale of Vikram aur Betaal, tells the story of a tough police officer who sets out to track down and kill a dreaded gangster. The original Tamil blockbuster starred R. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in lead roles.

Bhushan Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director, T-Series, says, “Vikram Vedha promises to be one of the most thrilling and entertaining films of the year. The announcement itself has sparked a great deal of interest in the audience. We are ecstatic to reunite this dynamic duo after two decades on the big screen. We cannot wait for Vikram Vedha to work its magic in the theatre and become a box office hit.”

S. Sashikanth, producer, says, “After having produced the original version in Tamil 4 years ago, we are excited to see how Vikram Vedha has been shaping up in Hindi with Hrithik and Saif pushing the boundaries and taking this story to a global audience.”

Vikram Vedha is scheduled to enter theatres worldwide on 30th September 2022.
