Vikram Vedha is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language neo-noir action thriller film written and directed by Pushkar–Gayathri. It is a remake of their own 2017 Tamil film of the same name. Jointly produced by YNOT Studios, Friday Filmworks, T-Series Films, Reliance Entertainment and Jio Studios, the film stars Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan, Radhika Apte and Rohit Saraf.
Production began in October 2021 and wrapped in June 2022. The film is scheduled to be theatrically released worldwide on 30 September 2022.
Vikram, a pragmatic police inspector, leads an encounter unit to eliminate a dangerous criminal Vedha. Vedha, however, voluntarily surrenders throwing a spanner in the works. The lines between good and evil blur as Vedha questions Vikram’s righteousness while the latter believes he is doing the right thing but is he?
In March 2018, Pushkar–Gayathri were confirmed to be directing a Hindi remake of their Tamil film Vikram Vedha (2017), to be produced again by YNOT Studios.[5] The project is co-produced by Friday Filmworks, T-Series Films and Reliance Entertainment,[1][6] and Neeraj Pandey serves creative producer.[7] Pushkar–Gayathri intended for the remake to maintain the “gritty” tone that the original film had.[8] Although Pandey had previously avoided working on remakes because of his preference to write original material, he was interested in working on this project because of its parallels to Vikramaditya and Betal from the folktale collection Baital Pachisi, which he felt was not yet done in Hindi cinema.[9]
Casting
Shah Rukh Khan was approached for the film, but declined.[10] In August 2019, it was confirmed that Saif Ali Khan and Aamir Khan[a] would play the police inspector Vikram and the gangster Vedha respectively.[12] Saif differentiated Vikram from Sartaj Singh, another police officer he played in the streaming television series Sacred Games, saying Vikram is “much more dynamic, confident and strong” than Singh who was suicidal, and constantly picked on by others.[13] Pushkar–Gayathri revealed that they were unable to have R. Madhavan reprise his role of Vikram from the original, due to his commitments to Rocketry: The Nambi Effect (2022).[14]
After production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic during which the writers also re-worked the script, Aamir left the project in December 2020 and was shortly thereafter replaced by Hrithik Roshan.[15][16] This would mark the second time Saif and Roshan share screen space after Na Tum Jaano Na Hum (2002).[17] As Vedha is from Kanpur, Roshan decided to speak with an Awadhi accent.[18] In July, Radhika Apte was cast as Vikram’s lawyer wife and Rohit Saraf signed on to play Vedha’s brother the following month.[19][20] By November 2021, Sharib Hashmi was confirmed to be in the film as Babloo.[21] In March 2022, Yogita Bihani was chosen to play Chanda
