Some time back there were false rumors that Hrithik Roshan refused to shoot parts of his upcoming film in Uttar Pradesh and hence had to move it to Dubai. However, now the makers of the film, Reliance Entertainment have cleared the air around it.
He wrote on his Twitter page, "We are seeing a lot of misleading and completely baseless reporting on the shooting locations of 'Vikram Vedha'. We would like to categorically state that Vikram Vedha has been shot extensively in India including Lucknow. A portion of the film was shot in the UAE in October–November 2021 as it was the only location that provided the infrastructure for a bio-bubble to accommodate a crew of such scale. Also, permission was given to manufacture the sets in a studio. Last month of shooting."
“We chose to do this out of health and protocol concerns. Any attempt to twist these sets of facts is clearly mischievous and untrue. Also, we would like to emphasize that while we at Reliance Entertainment welcome suggestions from creative talent, production and budgeting decisions are a centralized prerogative.
The film is based on the popular Indian folk tale 'Vikram Aur Betal'. This is the story of a police officer who sets out to hunt down a vicious gangster. 'Vikram Vedha' is a remake of 2017 Tamil film starring R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi. In this we get to see Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan as gangsters. Radhika Apte and Rohit Saraf are some of the other actors in the film. The film is scheduled to release by the end of September 2022.
