Vikram Vedha budget shoots up

A well-placed source within the industry has exclusively apprised BollywoodLife that just like the original Vikram Vedha, writer and Director duo Pushkar-Gayathri were keen on completing the movie on a limited budget – obviously more than what the Tamil movie was made on, given the cast, but still much less than what a Hrithik Roshan film is usually made on. However, it looks like Hrithik himself had other ideas, which could hurt the film’s commercial prospects in the long run.

The same source added that while Pushkar and Gayathri were keen to shoot the movie in some decrepit lanes of UP, just like they had in Tamil Nadu with the Kollywood Vikram Vedha, in order to maintain the same gritty looks and feel. However, it seems that Hrithik Roshan flat out refused this model of shooting and instead, urged the writer and Director duo as also the producers to recreate the same lanes of Uttar Pradesh via lavish sets in Dubaiwhich has allegedly shot up the film’s budget straight away by double.
