New Delhi: There’s a lot of buzz around Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan starrer ‘Vikram Vedha’ which will release on September 30. The film is certainly a very special one for Hrithik as it marks his 25th film. Both the actors are busy promoting the film.
Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan were captured having a dance together to the film’s song 'Alcoholiya' during one of the promotional events in Delhi. Hrithik was seen teaching Saif some hook steps of the song. Hrithik shared a video on his social media in which the real Vedha aka Hrithik and Vikram aka Saif can be seen grooving to the 'Alcoholiya' song. The actor jotted down the caption - "The Real Vikram Vedha behave like this 😄😂, Vedha forgotten the step, teaching Vikram all wrong 🤓"
'Vikram Vedha' is releasing worldwide in over 100 countries, making it one of the widest openings for a Bollywood film. Besides India, the film is releasing in territories where Bollywood films normally release day and date, including North America, UK, the Middle East and Australia and New Zealand. The film is also opening across 22 countries in Europe and 27 countries in Africa and Latin America, including Japan, Russia, Panama, and Peru, all non-traditional territories for Bollywood.
The film is a remake of the 2017 Tamil-language hit 'Vikram Vedha', directed by writer-directors Pushkar and Gayatri and starring R. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi.
Pushkar and Gayatri have also helmed the Hindi-language Bollywood adaptation.
The film, a neo-noir action thriller based on the Indian folktale "Vikram Aur Betaal", tells the story of a tough police officer Vikram (Khan) who sets out to track down and kill an equally tough gangster Vedha (Roshan). What unfolds is a cat-and-mouse chase, where Vedha, a master storyteller, helps Vikram peel back layers through a series of stories, leading to moral ambiguities.
The film is produced by T-Series and Reliance Entertainment in association with Friday Filmworks, Jio Studios, and YNOT Studios.
Producers include Bhushan Kumar, S. Sashikanth, and Bhushan Kumar. Reliance Entertainment has collaborated with Home Screen Entertainment for the international distribution of the film.
