Here's what SRK tweeted.
For the film and Madhavan and director Pushkar did an extensive research for over a year. "We carefully studied how cops handling gangsters think and behave. He plays a cop in mufti who doesn't sport a uniform. Such cops actually blend into the areas where they work and don't stand out. So their whole body language is very different. Madhavan started imagining that he was Vikram in flesh and blood, taking on his identity. He started visualising how the cop would act and feel in real life," Mr Pushkar earlier told
iFlickz.
Vikram Vedha, an action-thriller film, is shot in Chennai.
R Madhavan, who was last seen in
Irudhi Suttru (
Saala Khadoos in Hindi), as boxing coach, had to massively transform himself for the role of a cop. "Madhavan started studying his character months in advance. Physically Madhavan lost all the bulky muscle mass of his boxer look. He perfected a new sculpted lean, mean look in a few months," the director said.
Vikram Vedha's release date hasn't been announced as of yet.
