First Look: Hrithik As Vedha From Vikram Vedha

Bollywood’s Greek God Hrithik Roshan is celebrating his 48th birthday today and the actor treated our sore eyes with his first look from the film Vikram Vedha. A remake of the Tamil hit by the same name, the film also stars Saif Ali Khan as Vikram and Radhika Apte in a pivotal role.

Pushkar and Gayatri, who wrote and directed the original, will also direct the film in Hindi. The first look shows Hrithik in a rugged look, flexing his long hair and beard. He donned a black kurta and had bloodstains on his face, hinting at breathtaking action sequences in the making.

Termed as a neo-noir thriller by its makers, Vikram Vedha is inspired by the folktale of Vikram Aur Betaal. The story is all about a tough cop who tracks down and kills an equally tough gangster. This original Tamil blockbuster starred R. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi.

The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Reliance Entertainment, in association with Friday Filmworks and S. Sashikanth’s YNOT Studios. Vikram Vedha is expected to release globally on 30th September 2022
