Aamir, Saif to reunite after 18-years for 'Vikram Vedha' remake
What's the story
Aamir Khan is on a reunion spree. First he signed up Lal Singh Chaddha with Kareena Kapoor Khan after Talaash (2012), and now he is all set to collaborate with her husband Saif Ali Khan after 18 years. These actors will be coming together for the Bollywood remake of R. Madhavan starrer Tamil movie Vikram Vedha. The movie will reportedly feature Aamir as the lead antagonist.
Roles
Saif to play the good cop against gangster Aamir
As per a Filmfare report, Saif will step into Madhavan's shoes and play the role of an honest cop. On the other hand, Aamir will be the ruthless gangster as was portrayed by Vijay Sethupathi in the 2017 release. Notably, this will be Aamir and Saif's third collaboration after Parampara in 1993 and the super hit film Dil Chahta Hai in 2001.
Information
Aamir was seen in negative role in 'Fanaa', 'Dhoom 3'
Interestingly, this is not the first time that Aamir would be seen in a negative role on the big screen. Earlier, the superstar played the antagonist in Aatank Hi Aatank (1995), Earth (1998), Fanaa (2006) and Dhoom 3 (2013).
