Fans
were
sent
into
a
frenzy
after
it
was
confirmed
that
megastars
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
will
be
coming
together
for
the
Hindi
remake
of
the
Tamil
film
Vikram
Vedha.
The
movie
is
all
set
to
release
in
September
2022.
Now,
if
reports
are
to
be
believed
actress
Radhika
Apte
has
been
approached
to
play
the
role
of
a
lawyer
in
the
movie.
A
source
close
to
the
film
has
revealed
to
Pinkvilla
that
apart
from
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Saif
Ali
Khan's
character,
the
movie
has
an
important
role
of
that
of
a
lawyer
and
that
the
makers
are
keen
to
rope
in
Radhika
Apte
for
the
same.
The
source
added
that
it
is
a
complex
character
with
multiple
dimensions.
The
character
will
also
play
wife
to
Saif's
character
and
a
lawyer
to
Hrithik's
character
in
the
movie.
The
source
went
on
to
say
due
to
Radhika
Apte's
acting
abilities,
the
makers
of
the
Vikram
Vedha
remake
feel
that
she
is
the
best
choice
for
the
aforementioned
role.
The
source
also
said
that
the
paperwork
to
seal
the
deal
will
be
done
soon.
If
all
goes
well,
the
project
will
mark
Radhika's
third
collaboration
with
Saif
Ali
Khan.
The
two
were
earlier
seen
in
the
film
Bazaar
and
in
the
Netflix
series
Sacred
Games.
The
movie
will
mark
the
first
collaboration
of
the
Andhadhun
actress
with
Hrithik
Roshan.
The
original
Tamil
film
had
starred
R
Madhavan
and
Vijay
Sethupathi
in
the
lead
roles.
In
the
remake,
while
Saif
Ali
Khan
will
be
stepping
into
Madhavan's
shoes
for
the
cop
Vikram's
role,
Hrithik
Roshan
will
be
portraying
the
character
of
the
gangster
Vedha
which
was
essayed
by
Vijay
Sethupathi
in
the
original
film.
The
remake
will
be
directed
by
Pushkar
and
Gayatri,
the
director
duo
who
had
helmed
the
Tamil
film
as
well.
Earlier
a
news
report
in
Bollywood
Hungama
had
stated,
"The
film
goes
on
floors
soon
and
the
team
of
the
film
is
confident
that
it'll
be
ready
by
then.
Also,
it's
a
great
date
since
Gandhi
Jayanti
(October
2)
and
Dussehra
(October
5)
both
fall
in
the
release
week.
This
would
ensure
healthy
footfalls
translating
into
superb
box
office
numbers."
