Our teaser was a little glimpse of the world of Vikram Vedha, and the response that it has garnered is heartwarming.”
He added, “I have been told that the teaser stands to be the most liked Hindi film teaser, and the number of viewers it has reached to across social media platforms is hugely rewarding for me as an artist. We cannot wait to present our film to the audience.
Saif also shared his excitement about Vikram Vedha teaser setting new records. “It feels good to know that the teaser of ‘Vikram Vedha’ is the most liked teaser for a Hindi film till date. We all have put in so much of our love and hard work into making this film, and learning that our audience is as excited as we are to witness the film in theatres is the most positive outcome for me as an actor,” he said.
