In his acceptance speech, Hrithik said, “I have lived with Vedha for many years now. It began right here in Abu Dhabi. I gave my first shot as Vedha here…it feels like life has come full circle to me. Vedha helped me unleash madness inside me which I did not know that it exist.

“I love you guys…I will never take you for granted,” he added.
The film is an official Hindi remake of a Tamil project with the same title, which featured R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles.
The story of ‘Vikram Vedha’ is full of twists and turns, as a tough cop Vikram (Saif Ali Khan) sets out to track and chase a dreaded gangster Vedha (Hrithik Roshan). What unfolds is a cat-and-mouse chase, where Vedha – a master storyteller helps Vikram peel back layers through a series of stories leading to thought-provoking moral ambiguities.
Pushkar and Gayathri, who helmed the original ‘Vikram Vedha’, have directed the remake.
During his speech, Hrithik also gave a shout-out to Pushkar and Gayathri.
In the coming months, Hrithik will be seen in a different avatar in ‘Fighter’, which also stars Deepika Padukone.
He also has ‘War 2’ with Jr NTR in the pipeline.
