Bollywood super stars Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan will feature in the Hindi remake of the 2017 Tamil superhit film Vikram Vedha. The original version starred R. Madhavan as righteous police officer Vikram whereas Vijay Sethupathi played the gangster Vedha. In the Hindi remake, Hrithik Roshan will play the gangster while Saif Ali Khan essays the cop. 

The film draws from the ancient story of Vikram-Betaal, where a wily gangster manages to escape every time a determined cop nabs him, by narrating a new story drawn from his own life. Official remake announcement about the Bollywood remake was made, trade analyst Ramesh Bala tweeted from his verified account on Friday: "#VikramVedha Hindi casting.. @iHrithik to do @VijaySethuOffl role.. #SaifAliKhan to do @ActorMadhavan role..Fantastic casting." 

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan was expected to play the character of Vedha previously. However, as per reports, Aamir recently backed out of the project, and Hrithik was roped in. The Bollywood remake will also be directed by Pushkar-Gayathri, who also helmed the Tamil original. The film, backed by Neeraj Panday, is expected to go on floors soon.
