Vikram Vedha, Hrithik Roshan's most recent movie, scored poorly at the box office, and the star has now opened up about the situation. Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte both played key characters in the movie. Despite the movie's box office performance, Hrithik received plaudits for the performance.
Vikram Vedha, which Pushkar and Gayatri directed, was a Hindi version of their 2017 Tamil film of the same name. R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi played the titular characters. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Shraddha Srinath starred in the original Tamil movie. It came out in 2017 and became very popular.
“Vikram Vedha released, and it didn’t fare well at the box office at all. And the feedback that I got was. Of course, there are different parts of me that are conflicted about what I should learn from this. And I think it’ll dawn on me much later. But right now I know that it is not, maybe, something that people like to see me do," Hrithik told in an interview.
In response to a question on what exactly people dislike about him, Hrithik remarked, "Maybe I am taking myself too seriously. I think I should. Maybe I’m not allowed to do roles where I’m not catering to my fans who want to see me in a certain film... Films with a certain backdrop, in a certain way. If I choose to do those kind of films, I have to treat them differently, as in myself — economically, budget-wise, and cost-wise. These are the things that you learn. I will think twice before taking a film that does not cater to fans of the star. But when I read something worthy, I may not say no.”
The actor added that Vikram Vedha was a cerebral, academic movie that lacked the "flamboyance" of War and the "heart" of Super 30.
Hrithik visited the Red Sea International Film Festival 2022 in Jeddah earlier this month. And he attended the fest with Pakistani actress Mahira Khan. At the Red Sea International Film Festival, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Sonam Kapoor were photographed. Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Freida Pinto also made an appearance.
Hrithik's most recent appearance was in Vikram Vedha, and he has some intriguing projects coming ahead. He co-stars in Fighter, which stars Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor.
