New Delhi: The makers of Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan starrer ‘Vikram Vedha’ have finally wrapped up the filming of the movie.One of the most anticipated drama, it marks the return of two superstars collaborating in a high-octane action film after two decades.
Directed by Pushkar and Gayatri, the movie also stars Radhika Apte in a significant role. The makers had commenced filming in October 2021, and after various schedules in Abu Dhabi, Lucknow and Mumbai, the film’s principal photography has been successfully completed.
On the filming experience with Hrithik and Saif, the directors Pushkar & Gayatri said in a statement, “It’s been an exhilarating experience shooting with the leading superstars of our country Hrithik & Saif. With our super talented and amazing crew, we’ve been able to achieve what we had envisioned at a script level. We can’t wait to show our film to the audiences.”
Hrithik said, “Becoming Vedha was unlike anything I've ever done before. I had to break the mould of being the 'hero' and step into a completely unexplored territory as an actor. The journey felt like I was graduating. My relentless directors Pushkar & Gayatri kept me on a treadmill, silently motivating me to push boundaries. Working alongside Saif Ali Khan, Radhika Apte, Rohit Saraf & Yogita Bihani further gave me an impetus as a performer.” Further adding, "Looking back.. I became the Vedha that I did, because of the powerful presence of Saif Ali Khan as Vikram. He is phenomenal in every way possible.”
Taking to his social media handle, Hrithik shared some pictures from the set and wrote, “As we called it a wrap on set, my mind is flooded with all the happy memories, testing times, action, thrill and hardwork we all have put into #VikramVedha. Doing a little excited-nervous dance in my head today.. as we inch closer to our release date. See you at the cinemas.”
Saif shared, “Pushkar & Gayatri are quite the dynamic duo with great creative energy and it’s been very rewarding working with them. A complete icing on the cake and elevating experience for me was working with Hrithik and doing some intense action scenes.”
Based on the Indian folktale ‘Vikram aur Betal’, the flick is an edge-of-the-seat action crime thriller which tells the story of a tough police officer who sets out to track down and hunt a menacing gangster.
Presented by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series Films and Reliance Entertainment in association with Friday Filmworks and YNOT Studios, the film is produced by S Sashikanth and Bhushan Kumar.“Vikram Vedha” is set to have a theatrical release on September 30.(UNI)
