On Friday, trade analyst Taran Adarsh reported that Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan have been roped in for the Hindi remake of Tamil action thriller Vikram Vedha. "Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan will star in the Hindi remake of Tamil film Vikram Vedha, Pushkar-Gayathri - the director duo of the original film - will direct the Hindi version too," Mr Adarsh wrote.

Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan has films such as the next instalment of the superhero film Krrish 4 in his line-up. He will also feature in Siddharth Anand's upcoming action thriller Fighter, in which he co-stars with Deepika Padukone. Hrithik was last seen in the movie War.
