Storyline:

Vikram is a ruthless, no-nonsense cop who, along with his team, is on a lookout to nab a dreaded gangster, Vedha. While Vikram sees all things as black and white, Vedha, a worldly wise man, doesn`t hold the same thinking as Vikram`s, leading to a powerful clash between the two ideologies.

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.
• In January 2015, Sashikanth revealed that he would be producing a film directed by the husband and wife duo, Pushkar and Gayathri.
