Hrithik also disclosed the reason behind taking a short break after a successful stunt in War. The Super 30 actor believes that he can do four films a year if the script is really that intriguing. He stated, “I want to do more films. But I need good scripts. If I get exceptional writing, I’ll do four films a year. My instincts are based on how impactful the script has been on my soul. I’m not doing films only for the money so I have that choice. I’m in the hands of my writers and directors.”
Talking about Vikram Vedha, Hrithik shared that he had watched the original film in 2017 and immediately there was this itching to star in its remake. He said, “I was blown away by the film. I expressed my desire to be part of the remake, if and when it would be made. And three years later, it circled back to me.”
Directed by Gayathri and Pushkar, Vikram Vedha will also be headlined by promising actors such as Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte. Meanwhile, the original Tamil film featured Shraddha Srinath, Kathir and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar in lead roles while Prem, Achyuth Kumar, Hareesh Peradi and Vivek Inspired by the Indian folktale Baital Pachisi, Vikram Vedha is slated to release on September 30.
