Yesterday, the makers of the much-anticipated Hindi language remake of the widely acclaimed 2017 Tamil action thriller movie ‘Vikram Vedha’ had revealed that one of the film’s lead actors Saif Ali Khan’s first look will be out on 24th February, that is, today.
And as promised, we have got a stunning first look still featuring the ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ actor bearing an angry and intense expression. A couple of months back, Saif Ali Khan had wrapped up his part for the movie’s second filming schedule in Lucknow.
Inspired by the immensely popular Indian folktale Vikram-Betaal, the parent film ‘Vikram Vedha’ revolved around the two titular characters – a tough and upright police officer Vikram (originally essayed by Madhavan) and a dreaded gangster Vedha (played by Vijay Sethupathi).
The parent film began with Vedha voluntarily surrendering himself to the cops. The goings-on take an interesting turn when Vedha begins to play mind games with Vikram by narrating three different stories that makes the cop re-think the concept of good and evil.
You might already be aware by now that for the ‘Vikram Vedha’ Hindi remake, Hrithik Roshan has stepped into the shoes of the gangster Vedha while Saif Ali Khan is portraying the role of the honest cop Vikram. Besides Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan, the film will also feature Radhika Apte and Sharib Hashmi in important roles.
Like the parent film, the remake is also being directed by the husband-wife duo Pushkar-Gayathri. ‘Vikram Vedha’ remake starring Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan is slated to release in theatres on 30th September 2022. Besides ‘Vikram Vedha’, Saif Ali Khan will next be seen in Om Raut’s ‘Adipurush’ co-starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon.
