Since an actor is the face of a film, it’s not surprising that his word is taken seriously. While he may have the film’s best interests at heart, it may come at a cost — something that the makers of Vikram Vedha learnt, now that the principal shooting is complete. Talk in tinsel town is that the budget of Vikram Vedha shot up from what the director duo Pushkar-Gayathri had initially planned. Apparently, they wanted to film several crucial scenes in the bylanes of Uttar Pradesh, just like they did for their 2017 Tamil original, to retain the film’s gritty treatment. However, Hrithik Roshan is said to have politely declined the idea, suggesting they shoot the scenes in Dubai instead by building the required sets. When the leading hero proposes, relatively newer directors don’t dispose his suggestion. So, they reworked the schedule and shot those sequences in the Gulf emirate. Last heard, the producers are hoping the gamble pays off.
