Vikram Vedha director Pushkar says, ‘We’d ponder over many takeaways their tales had’

 

In a conversation with Mid-Day, the director duo Pushkar and Gayatri shared some back story of creating Vikram Vedha. Speaking on the same, Pushkar said, “the core of Vikram Vedha’s story is inspired by the famous folklore. As children, we both grew up listening to the stories of Vikram and Betaal, and every time, we would ponder over the many takeaways their tales had.”

 

On the other hand, Gayatri further elaborated, “the film’s treatment draws references from these legends, where every time the two characters face off, they are at crossroads. We were fascinated with the dynamics shared by Vikram and Betaal. So, when we started writing the story, we adapted that nostalgia into these characters.”

 

Interestingly, a source has told, “The trailer of Vikram Vedha will be shown before Brahmastra in cinemas. The trailer will not be attached to the prints of the superhero film. The theatres have been asked to play the trailer just before Brahmastra starts. The exhibitors have agreed to this request as they know that Vikram Vedha looks like a potential hit”, told Bollywood Hungama.

 

Vikram Vedha is a remake of a Tamil-language film, which was released in 2017. The original film featured R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupati as Vikram and Vedha respectively.
