Though most of the netizens look impressed with the power-packed first teaser of the Hindi remake, there are others who are comparing Hrithik with Vijay Sethupathi. And yes, it has already started trending on Twitter. The original film starring R Madhavan (Vikram) and Vijay Sethupathi (Vedha) was a massive hit.
“What a crap idea to think even to make #HrithikRoshan as Vedha which was perfectly nailed by #VijaySethupathi #VikramVedha remake is just crap,” wrote a user.
“Impact is missing, #VijaySethupathi bahut impactful and heavy tha.#VikramVedhateaser,” wrote another user.

The new #VikramVedhateaser is nowhere near the original one. It's impossible to match Vijay Sethupathi as #Vedha. Even R Madhavan has performed incredibly well as #Vikram.#VikramVedha #vikramveda pic.twitter.com/q3fQ0wTN9q— Believer (@Believer2202) August 24, 2022
Some netizens compared Hrithik’s accent in Vikram Vedha with Super 30 and trolled him too. “Why the hell has Hrithik Roshan that super 30 accent still In #VikramVedhateaser. Hrithik National Award Winner #VijaySethupathi ko match karega,” wrote a user.

I don't know if he can match the level of Vijay Sethupathi's Vedha role but I'm sure that Hrithik is going to create an impact in this villain role at Bollywood industry. All the best for #VikramVedha team.

The story is full of twists and turns, as a tough cop Vikram (Saif) sets out to track and chase a dreaded gangster Vedha (Hrithik). What unfolds is a cat-and-mouse chase, where Vedha – a master storyteller helps Vikram peel back layers through a series of stories leading to thought-provoking moral ambiguities.
