Anil D Ambani-led Reliance Entertainment and its partners Plan C studios spearheaded by Neeraj Pandey and Y Not Studios headed by S Sashikanth are coming together to remake 2017’s Tamil blockbuster Vikram Vedha in Hindi. The producers will retain the original director duo Pushkar and Gayatri for its Hindi remake, while writer, producer, director Neeraj Pandey will step in as the writer and creative producer. 

This also marks the beginning of a partnership between some of the most commercially successful, dynamic and creative minds — Reliance Entertainment, Plan C Studios and Y Not Studios.
Shibasish Sarkar, COO Reliance Entertainment said, “This incredible collaboration is also a coming together of a dream creative team that would do true justice to a film like that.”

A cult film in its own right, Vikram Vedha is a neo-noir action crime thriller, based on the Indian meta-folktale Vikram aur Betaal. The film tells the story of a tough police officer who sets out to track down and kill an equally tough gangster. This Tamil blockbuster starred R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi. 
Neeraj added, “Vikram Vedha is a unique film and this story has to be retold to the Hindi audience world over. We have all grown up on the Vikram Betaal mythology, but the out of the box contemporary treatment makes it a must see movie.”
