Last year, superstar Hrithik Roshan delivered an outstanding performance in Vikram Vedha (2022). The movie received high marks from critics, with Hrithik's performance shining out. It was also an uncommon instance of a remake performance where the original version's fans had no cause for complaint. Surprisingly, Vikram Vedha wasn't distributed on any OTT platform until seven months after its September 30, 2022, release date. It was previously disclosed that it would debut on the Jio Cinema app.
Vikram Vedha's images were displayed in the preview video during the spectacular event that Jio Studios hosted last month in Mumbai. They confirmed that the action thriller will actually debut on the well-liked app. Three weeks have passed since the event. There is still no word on when Vikram Vedha will eventually make its streaming debut. According to a source, “Vikram Vedha will premiere next week. The expected date of its premiere is Friday, May 12.”
“It’ll be a surprise drop on the Jio Cinema app. What this means is that the platform will start streaming Vikram Vedha without prior intimation. They believe that this will give a pleasant surprise to the moviegoers. They are aware of the heavy demand to watch Vikram Vedha on OTT and they don’t want to keep them waiting any longer. Looking at the way netizens on social media have been expressing their wish to watch this film, they are confident that it’ll get record views”, the source added.
Radhika Apte and Rohit Saraf were featured in Vikram Vedha. It was directed by Pushkar-Gayatri. He is renowned for helming the 2017 Tamil film adaptation with co-stars R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi with the same name.
Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan is hard at work for his movie Fighter. The movie also stars Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor. It will be released in theatres on Republic Day 2024. The movie comes under the direction of Siddharth Anand. His other upcoming projects include Krrish 4 and War 2, which also stars Jr. NTR.
