About Vikram Vedha Movie
- As the film is inspired from Baital Pachisi, it consists of an animation sequence involving Vikramaditya and Vetala, on which the main characters Vikram and Vedha are formed. Gopi Prasanna, the title designer of the film, shared the film’s poster title in Tamil (விக்ரம் வேதா) on Instagram, where the letter வி (Vi) in Vikram is stylized to resemble Vikramaditya’s sword, and தா (Dha) in Vedha is stylized to resemble Vetala’s tail.
