EXCLUSIVE: Hrithik Roshan-starrer Vikram Vedha expected to premiere on Jio Cinema app on May 12 : Bollywood News

Superstar Hrithik Roshan delivered a fabulous performance last year in Vikram Vedha (2022). The film, starring Saif Ali Khan, was critically acclaimed with Hrithik’s act particularly standing out. It was also a rare performance in a remake where the fans of the original version had no reason to complain. Interestingly, Vikram Vedha was released on September 30, 2022; seven months have passed and the film hasn’t premiered on any OTT platform yet. Bollywood Hungama was the first one to report in February that it’ll premiere on the Jio Cinema app. In the grand event organized by Jio Studios last month in Mumbai, Vikram Vedha’s visuals were shown in the sizzle video that confirmed that the action thriller is indeed premiering on the popular app. It’s been three weeks since the event and till now, there has been no confirmation about when Vikram Vedha will finally premiere on the streaming giant.
