If the industry grapevine is to be believed, the Hindi remake of the Tamil film, Vikram Vedha (2017), is on track. There's news that Hrithik Roshan has been roped in for the action-thriller alongside Saif Ali Khan. Earlier, there was tattle that the makers were keen on Aamir Khan, but Mr Perfectionist declined the offer.

Roshan will reprise Vijay Sethupathi's role as a gangster, while Saif will play Madhavan's role. The remake will be directed by Pushkar-Gayathri, who also helmed the original. The film, backed by Neeraj Panday, is expected to roll soon. The original film starred R Madhavan, Vijay Sethupathi, Shraddha Srinath, Kathir and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar while Prem, Achyuth Kumar, Hareesh Peradi and Vivek Prasanna play supporting roles.
