Hyderabad: The filming for the Hindi remake of Tamil blockbuster film 'Vikram Vedha' has wrapped up and is set to hit the screens on 30 September.
The remake is directed by Pushkar and Gayatri and stars Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles. Radhika Apte will play a significant role in the film.
Talking about working with Hrithik and Saif, the directors Pushkar and Gayatri said, "It's been an exhilarating experience shooting with the leading superstars of our country Hrithik and Saif. With our super talented and amazing crew, we've been able to achieve what we had envisioned at a script level. We can't wait to show our film to the audiences."
Returning to the big screen after three years, Hrithik Roshan said becoming Vedha was unlike anything he'd done before. "I had to break the mould of being the 'hero' and step into a completely unexplored territory as an actor. The journey felt like I was graduating. My relentless directors Pushkar & Gayatri kept me on a treadmill, silently motivating me to push boundaries."
He added, "Working alongside Saif Ali Khan, Radhika Apte, Rohit Saraf, and Yogita Bihani gave me an impetus as a performer. Looking back, I became the Vedha that I did, because of the powerful presence of Saif Ali Khan as Vikram. He is phenomenal in every way possible."
Talking about his filming experience Saif Ali Khan shared, "Pushkar & Gayatri are quite the dynamic duo with great creative energy and it's been very rewarding working with them. A complete icing on the cake and elevating experience for me was working with Hrithik and doing some intense action scenes."
'Vikram Vedha', based on the Indian folktale "Vikram aur Betal," is an edge-of-the-seat action crime thriller that tells the story of a tough police officer who sets out to track down and hunt a menacing gangster. The film is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated movies as it marks the return of two superstars collaborating in a high-octane action film after two decades.
