Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s Vikram Vedha, a Hindi remake of a Tamil blockbuster of the same name, is set to release in more than 100 countries on September 30, the makers of the film announced on Thursday.
Helmed by acclaimed directors Pushkar and Gayathri, Vikram Vedha is likely to have the largest international distribution for a Hindi film till date, the makers said in a statement.
The film, also starring Radhika Apte, is set to release in 22 countries across Europe, 27 countries in Africa and also non-traditional countries like Japan, Russia, Israel and Latin American nations such as Panama and Peru. The film will also release in major markets like North America, UK, Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.
“With the star power of Vikram Vedha, it has garnered tremendous love and appreciation from the audience and trade alike. Reliance Entertainment Overseas and Home Screen Entertainment teams have ensured the film reaches the widest audience across the globe,” said Dhruv Sinha, head of Overseas Businesses for Reliance Entertainment.
Vikram Vedha is an action-thriller written and directed by Pushkar-Gayathri. A gritty 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 — leads Vikram to thought-provoking moral ambiguities through his stories.
Vikram Vedha is presented by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series and Reliance Entertainment in association with Friday Filmworks and Jio Studios, and YNOT Studios Production. Reliance Entertainment has collaborated with Home Screen Entertainment for the overseas distribution of Vikram Vedha.
