New Delhi: Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan wrapped up the shooting of the upcoming film ‘Vikram Vedha’. The film is a remake of a Tamil neo-noir with the same title. The original film featured R. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupati in the lead roles.
The film is based on the epic tale of Vikram-Vetal, wherein, Vikram, the king, tried to catch Vetal but Vetal narrated a story and asked Vikram some questions to confuse him and escape.
In the film too, Vedha, a gangster, narrates his story and leaves Vikram, a cop, in confusion. The film revolves around the themes of grey lines between good and bad.
The Tamil film gained a lot of popularity and there were speculations about its sequel. “The film has a very ambiguous ending and a lot of people must be wondering what happened to Vikram and Vedha. There’s a possibility that a sequel could be made,” said Sashikanth, the producer.
He also confirmed that the film will be remade in Hindi and Telugu.
The Hindi remake is directed by Gayathri and Pushkar, who also directed the original ‘Vikram Vedha’. The film stars Hrithik Roshan as Vedha and Saif Ali Khan as Vikram.
