Helmed by Pushkar and Gayatri, the film starred Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte in the lead roles. `Vikram Vedha` 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). 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 thought-provoking moral ambiguities.

Meanwhile, apart from `Vikram Vedha`, Hrithik will also be seen in Siddharth Anand`s upcoming action thriller film `Fighter` alongside Deepika Padukone. Saif, on the other hand, will be next seen in an upcoming pan-India film `Adipurush` alongside south actor Prabhas, and Kriti Sanon.
