SRK
Was
Interested
To
Remake
Vikram
Vedha
The
leading
daily
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"R
Madhavan,
who
acted
in
Vikram
Vedha,
brought
the
film
to
Shah
Rukh,
who
initially
seemed
interested
in
remaking
it.
But
currently,
that
plan
has
been
put
on
the
back
burner.
Shah
Rukh
isn't
remaking
Vikram
Vedha
anymore."
But...
Rumour
has
it
that
Madhavan
wanted
SRK
to
play
his
character
from
the
original
but
the
superstar
apparently
had
other
plans.
SRK
Wanted
To
Play
Vedha's
Role
The
source
said,
"Shahrukh loved
Vijay
Sethupathi's
character
(Vedha
-
the
gangster).
He
found
Vedha
more
edgy
and
interesting.
After
watching
the
film,
he
knew
that
if
he
remade
it,
he
would
play
the
grey
character
of
Vedha."
Is
It
Worth
The
Risk?
"There
were
two
things.
Although
Shah
Rukh
loved
the
film,
it's
an
extremely
layered
and
risky
project
to
be
made
in
Hindi.
Plus,
since
SRK
wanted
to
play
the
gangster
who
eventually
turns
out
to
be
a
hero,
the
space
is
very
similar
to
his
Fan
where
you
end
up
sympathising
with
the
film's
villain.
So,
at
least
for
now,
Shah
Rukh
is
not
remaking
it,
"
the
source
further
added.
The
Plot
The
Tamil
neo-noir
crime
thriller
revolved
around
a
ruthless
cop
who
wages
a
war
against
an
unscrupulous
gangster.
However,
certain
events
lead
to
the
cop
questioning
his
principles
and
motives.
On
The
Work
Front
Currently,
King
Khan

busy
shooting
for

L.
Rai's
