The raging South vs Bollywood debate aside, fans have often criticized remakes and compared them with originals. And it’s no different with Vikram Vedha’s recently released teaser. In our opinion, we’re only glad to see Hrithik Roshan back on-screen, and Saif Ali Khan is looking his usual handsome self. However, fans welcomed the first glimpse of the film with mixed reviews.
Vikram Vedha is the official Hindi remake of a Tamil blockbuster film starring R. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles. While Khan will be taking up Madhavan’s role in the film, Roshan will be seen essaying the baddie Vijay Sethupathi. The teaser shows Roshan talking about his gory past to Khan’s character, who is a cop. Some high-octane action scenes follow, piquing your interest to know what comes next.
The teaser was much awaited by fans after the makers teased them with first-look posters of the lead stars. People had high expectations from Roshan, who has always delivered good action scenes in his previous movies. While his fans loved his rugged scenes in the teaser, many were not convinced with his acting. Twitter was yet again divided with many saying that nothing can come close to what Sethupathi did in the original film.
