About Vikram Vedha Movie:
- Vikram Vedha is a remake of the duo’s 2017 Tamil film of the same name, it is inspired by the Indian folktale Baital Pachisi and stars Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan as the titular anti-heroes.
- In March 2018, Pushkar–Gayathri was confirmed to be directing a Hindi remake of their Tamil film Vikram Vedha (2017), to be produced again by YNOT Studios.
- Pushkar–Gayathri intended for the remake to maintain the “gritty” tone that the original film had. Although Pandey had previously avoided working on remakes because of his preference to write original material, he was interested in working on this project because of its parallels to Vikramaditya and Betal from the folktale collection Baital Pachisi, which he felt was not yet done in Hindi cinema.
- Pushkar–Gayathri revealed that they were unable to have R. Madhavan reprise his role of Vikram from the original, due to his commitments to Rocketry: The Nambi Effect (2022).
- Shah Rukh Khan was approached for the film but declined.
- In August 2019, it was confirmed that Saif Ali Khan and Aamir Khan would play the police inspector Vikram and the gangster Vedha respectively.
- After production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic during which the writers also re-worked the script, Aamir left the project in December 2020 and was shortly thereafter replaced by Hrithik Roshan. This would mark the second time Saif and Roshan share screen space after Na Tum Jaano Na Hum (2002).
- Principal photography was planned to begin in February 2021, when Aamir Khan was in the cast. After Roshan replaced him, it was to have begun in June 2021 but ultimately began on 15 October that year with the first schedule taking place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
- Saif Ali Khan finished his portions of the schedule by the end of the month. Radhika Apte, whose schedule was only 10 days, finished filming most of her portions by 26 April 2022. Filming wrapped by 10 June 2022.
- The film’s teaser trailer was released on 24 August 2022. On YouTube, it received over one million likes in less than 24 hours, surpassing War (2019) as the most-liked teaser for a Hindi film.
- The film was theatrically released worldwide on 30 September 2022 and received positive reviews from critics and audiences, with praise directed towards the direction, cinematography, screenplay, background score, and performances (particularly Khan and Roshan), but underperformed commercially.
- At the 68th Filmfare Awards, Vikram Vedha received 8 nominations, including Best Actor (Roshan), and won Best Action.
- The film premiered on JioCinema on 12 May 2023 in Hindi and dubbed versions of Bengali and Marathi languages.
