Hrithik Roshan On Vikram Vedha’s Clash With PS-1
As per a Hindustan Times report Vikram Vedha actor Hrithik Roshan recently opened up on Vikram Vedha’s clash with PS-1, he said, “I haven’t read the book. So, for me, it’s just Vikram Vedha. That’s all I know.”
Film director Pushkar also commented on the matter and said, “Ponniyin Selvan is a classic text, a tale of intrigue set during the Chola Empire. You can’t beat that. It’s a six-volume book that I read back in the day. That text has been an inspiration for every writer coming out of Chennai. We do our part and they have done theirs. Let’s hope people go and watch both movies. I think Friday-Saturday or Saturday-Sunday. I’ll be going and watching that movie for sure.”
