exclusively on Jio Cinema, on May 12, 2023.

The movie, which also has Radhika Apte in the major part, is directed by Pushkar and Gayatri. The movie "Vikram Vedha" is an authorised translation from the Tamil version of the same name, which starred Vijay Sethupathi and R Madhavan in the key parts. As a fierce officer named Vikram (Saif Ali Khan) sets out to track and pursue a notorious mobster named Vedha (Hrithik Roshan), the plot of "Vikram Vedha" is full of unexpected turns.

A cat-and-mouse game ensues, with Vedha, a superb storyteller, assisting Vikram in removing layers through a succession of tales that lead to perplexing moral difficulties.

In addition to "Vikram Vedha," Hrithik will co-star with Deepika Padukone in Siddharth Anand's forthcoming action thriller movie "Fighter." 'War 2' will also feature him. In the Siddarth Anand-helmed film "War," Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff played the leading roles. One of the highest-grossing Hindi films of that year is expected to be this high-octane action drama.

The most recent actor to join the cast is Jr. NTR. The creators, however, have not released any public statements about it.

Helmed by the director duo Pushkar- Gayatri, the film is set to hit the theatres on September 30, 2022. The story of 'Vikram Vedha' is based on an Indian folktale 'Vikram aur Betaal', which is an official Hindi remake of a Tamil film with the same title, which starred R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles. The story of 'Vikram Vedha' is full of twists and turns, as a tough cop Vikram (Saif Ali Khan) sets out to track and chase a dreaded gangster Vedha (Hrithik Roshan). A cat-and-mouse chase unfolds, where Vedha - a master storyteller helps Vikram peel back layers through a series of stories leading to thought-provoking moral ambiguities. Talking about the modern-day adaptation of 'Vikram Betaal tales', director Pushkar Gayatri said, "The core of Vikram Vedha's story is inspired by the famous folklore of 'Vikram Betaal'.

As children, we both grew up listening to the stories of Vikram aur Betaal, and every time it would leave us thinking, pondering over the many takeaways their tales had. The treatment of the film draws references from these legends, where every time the two characters face off, they are at a crossroads of a puzzling situation. We were fascinated with the dynamics shared by Vikram Betaal and so when we started writing the story of our film, we adapted that nostalgia into the characters of Vikram & Vedha. In the film, Vikram & Vedha are their own beings, and the premise is set against the action-thriller backdrop." The trailer of 'Vikram Vedha' garnered incredible love and appreciation amongst the screaming and whistling fans from across cities and on social media.

Apart from 'Vikram Vedha', Hrithik will be also seen in an upcoming aerial action film 'Fighter', alongside Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor. Saif Ali Khan, on the other hand, will be also seen in a Pan India film 'Adipurush' along with south actor Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Sunny Singh.
