Hrithik Roshan's first look as Vedha from Vikram Vedha has left fans excited to see the actor's intense avatar alongside Saif Ali Khan. The film comes as the remake of a 2017 Tamil film by the same name which starred R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in lead roles. Among myriad compliments received by Hrithik, the original Vikram, R Madhavan, was left stunned by his first look and called it 'epic'. 

Lauding the actor, Madhavan quipped how that's a Vedha he wants to witness on screen. The action-thriller is based on the folktale Vikram aur Betaal, and narrates the story of a police inspector Vikram who ventures out to kill a notorious gangster Vedha.
