After the blockbuster success of his last film War (2019), Hrithik Roshan has entered into a different league of supertardom. Therefore, the excitement is tremendous for Vikram Vedha, his 25th film, which releases on September 30. The teaser and trailer have received a fantastic response. The team of the film held fan events in different cities for the promo release, which got a great response. They continued this trend with the launch of the first song of the film, ‘Alcoholia’. This time, the song launch took place in Mumbai’s iconic single-screen theatre complex, Gaiety-Galaxy. What added to the madness was that Hrithik Roshan himself arrived at the venue and his fans obviously couldn’t control their excitement.

At this event, Hrithik Roshan was asked about the idea of launching the song in the single-screen theatre. To which he said, “Gaiety is very special. 22 years ago, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai (2000) was released. I had come here for the first day first show to see (the audience reaction of) the first ever film of mine. When the film got over and the lights were switched on, the viewers recognized me. Uss din maine pehli baar mehsoos kiya ki audience ka pyaar aur kya hota hai.”

Hrithik Roshan continued, “I remember one more episode. Before Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai had been released, the doctors had told me that my health is not that good and so I won't be able to do action and dance in movies. I took it up as a challenge. I took care of my health and fitness. It’s nothing short of a miracle that in my 25th film, I am still doing action and I am still dancing. And I am still able to say my dialogues. I think the 21-year-old me will be very, very proud of the 48-year-old me!”

As expected, the fans were touched by his speech. Hrithik told them, “Thank you. This wouldn’t have been possible without your support and love.”

He also credited the Vikram Vedha team, “Nothing is possible without a team. I am blessed to be working with directors (Pushkar-Gayatri), (choreographer) Ganesh Hegde and (music director duo) Vishal-Sheykhar. This song would not be what it is if it was not for the team. I got a chance to work with some of the best actors (pointing at Radhika Apte, Rohit Saraf and Yogita Bihani). I feel I am very blessed. So thanks to all of you for giving me this opportunity.”

Also present at the event were choreographer Ganesh Hegde and producers Shibasish Sarkar and S Sashikanth.
