New Delhi: Bollywood is going through a testing time. With several big budget films starring superstars like Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor and Aamir Khan failing to make their mark at the box office with their recent releases, the industry is facing an acute crisis. Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha' and Akshay Kumar's 'Raksha Bandhan' failed miserably at the box office, bringing to fore the point that audience needs more than just big names to get attracted to the theatres.
Amid all the hullaboo about the boycott trend that hugely impacted the recently released films including 'Laal Singh Chaddha' and 'Raksha Bandha', audiences can’t wait for Hrithik Roshan’s return to the silver screen, testimony of which is the massive anticipation surrounding his next, Vikram Vedha, which has consistently been trending on social media.
The film, which is 45 days away from its nationwide release, first drove the superstar’s fans into a frenzy when his first-look from the film was out. Fans spoke about how Hrithik looked like a Greek God and made ‘bad look so good’.

Adding to the anticipation even further, ‘Awaiting Roar of Vikram Vedha’ has been trending on Twitter, with fans expressing their excitement in different ways. Calling him the last ‘True Blue Superstar of Bollywood’, some spoke about his heroic entrance in the film, some sketched the image of his character, others spoke about the lengths they went to watch his films.
