HRITHIK ROSHAN AND SABA AZAD RELATIONSHIP

 

It all started in February this year when the duo was photographed exiting a restauran in Mumbai suburbs after a cosy dinner. The rumoured couple also made headlines when they walked in hand-in-hand and happily posed for the cameras at Karan Johar's 50th birthday bash. Though they are yet to make it official, their social media PDA says a lot about their relationship. 

 

BOYCOTT HRITHIK ROSHAN's VIKRAM VEDHA TRENDS ON TWITTER 

 

Hrithik Roshan recently got massively attacked on social media after he gave a shout-out to Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha'. The actor appealed to people to watch the film in theatres and not boycott the film. However, soon after his appeal, the '#Boycott Gang' began targeting the actor and also attacked his upcoming film 'Vikram Vedha.'

The upcoming film 'Vikram Vedha' stars Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles. It is a Hindi remake of the Tamil action-thriller 'Vikram Vedha' that released in 2017. It stars R. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi as lead actors. Billed as an edge-of-the-seat action-thriller, the movie is based on the popular Indian folktale 'Vikram aur Betal'. It tells the story of a tough police officer (Saif Ali Khan) who sets out to track down and hunt a menacing gangster (Hrithik Roshan). The upcoming Hindi movie is a remake of 2017 Tamil blockbuster of the same name, which starred R Madhavan as a cop and Vijay Sethupathi as a gangster. Filmmaker duo Pushkar and Gayatri, who helmed the original film, have directed the Hindi version as well. The movie is slated to release on September 30, 2022. 

Twitter flooded with the boycott tweets within an hour. One user wrote, "This tweet has sealed the fate of his upcoming movie which is remake of Vikram Veda. #BoycottVikramVeda." Another one said, "You should not have done this. Instead of focussing on your film, you are trying to support others. Now get ready to face the consequences. Vikram Vedha will be the next target."

 

HRITHIK ROSHAN-DEEPIKA PADUKONE's FIGHTER

Filming is expected to go on floors in October and will reportedly hit the screens in October 2023.
