Although the Pushkar-directed movie is an official remake of the 2017 Tamil film that starred Vijay Sethupathi and R. Madhavan, audiences have heaped appreciation on it.
The Hindi version is heavily influenced by that legendary movie, but to the credit of filmmakers Pushkar and Gayatri, it managed to perform well on its own, providing a compelling plot, great action, and a few chuckles.
While Saif is also capturing hearts in the part of a police officer, Hrithik’s fans are raving over him in the teaser as they see him in the villain’s appearance. The movie follows Vikram, an upright policeman from Lucknow, who is in search of thug Vedha. But when Vedha turns himself in front of the police and begins telling his version of the event, it changes how we perceive good and evil.
Apart from Saif and Hrithik, the movie also has a stellar supporting cast. However, it means it costs a lot of money to recruit this essemble. That’s why the audience must have been interested in how much the famous actors were paid for the movie.
