Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan will star in 'Vikram Vedha' remake.

Bollywood actors Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan have been roped in to star in the Hindi remake of Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi-starrer Vikram Vedha, a neo-noir thriller which was one of the most successful Tamil films of 2017.

According to a report in Filmfare, while Aamir will be essaying Vijay Sethupathi’s gangster character, Saif will replace Madhavan as the honest cop. While the remake would be helmed by the husband-wife duo Pushkar-Gayathri, who had directed the original, the film will go on floors by March 2020. Last year, it was announced that the Hindi remake will be produced by Y NOT Studios and Plan C Studios, which is a collaboration of Reliance Entertainment and Neeraj Pandey’s Friday Filmworks.

Vikram Vedha, released in 2017, turned out to be a hit at the box office.

An action entertainer, Vikram Vedha has been written and directed by Pushkar and Gayathri and produced by S Sashikanth under his banner Y NOT Studios.
