R
Madhavan
and
Vijay
Sethupathi's
critically
acclaimed
film
Vikram
Vedha
is
all
set
to
be
remade
in
Hindi
with
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Hrithik
Roshan
in
leading
roles.
While
Saif
will
be
reprising
the
role
of
Madhavan's
cop
character
Vikram,
Hrithik
will
be
stepping
into
Vijay's
shoes
to
play
the
dreaded
gangster
Vedha.
Recently
in
a
chat
with
Mid-day,
Madhavan
talked
about
Saif
slipping
into
his
role
from
the
Tamil
film
for
the
Bollywood
remake.
He
said
that
he
is
certain
that
Saif
will
bring
his
own
charm
as
Vikram
to
the
big
screen.
The
3
Idiots
actor
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
am
in
touch
with
Saif.
He
is
only
cautious.
He
is
a
phenomenal
actor,
and
always
does
a
brilliant
job."
He
further
added
that
he
thinks
Saif
can
steal
his
thunder
by
getting
into
the
skin
of
his
character.
"When
Saif
puts
his
heart
and
soul
into
a
role,
he
becomes
a
different
monster.
I
am
just
keeping
my
fingers
crossed
and
hoping
that
my
identity
as
Vikram
from
the
Tamil
film
is
maintained," the
tabloid
quoted
him
as
saying.
The
Hrithik-Saif
starrer
has
already
hit
the
shooting
floors
and
fans
are
excited
to
see
the
clash
between
the
two
stars
on
screen.
The
Tamil
film,
directed
by
Pushkar-Gayathri,
revolved
around
a
no-nonsense
police
officer
(Madhavan)
who
engages
in
a
mind
game
with
a
notorious
gangster
Vedha
(Vijay
Sethupathi)
where
the
latter
challenges
his
notion
of
good
and
evil.
The
neo-noir
action
thriller
had
opened
to
positive
reviews
and
bagged
several
awards.
Coming
back
to
the
Hindi
remake,
the
Hrithik-Saif
film
is
scheduled
to
release
on
30
September
2022.
