Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan Reunite After 20 Years: ‘Vikram Vedha’ casts actors Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan in the leading roles with female co-star Radhika Apte playing an important character. After 27 days of filming in Abu Dhabi with Krrish’s lead actor, the first schedule of the film has come to an end. With Hum Tum actor Saif in Lucknow, the second schedule has begun. The film will hit the big screens globally on September 30, 2022. The dynamic duo will work together after two decades. The 2002 film ‘Naa Tum Jaano Naa Hum‘ was the last release where Hrithik and Saif were seen together.
The film is a neo-noir action thriller based on the folk tale ‘Vikram Aur Betaal‘. It tells the story of a tough police officer who sets out to track down and kill an equally tough gangster. The original Tamil blockbuster starred R. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles. Pushkar and Gayatri, the original writers and directors, are helming the Hindi remake too.
