“It took me six years to work out script”: Nikkhil Advani on John Abraham starrer Vedaa’s first look response


The unveiling of the first look poster of ‘Vedaa’, an action-packed thriller, has set pulses racing, particularly for its director Nikkhil Advani who couldn’t contain his enthusiasm over the warm reception it received. Joining in the buzz, leading actor John Abraham took to social media to tease fans with the poster and an evocative tagline, piquing their curiosity about the narrative and characters set to unfold on screen come July 12th.

The anticipation built around ‘Vedaa’ has been substantial, partly due to the reputation of its star, John Abraham, and the mastery of filmmaker Nikkhil Advani. The director, known for his engagement with compelling true-life stories, crafted this film alongside writer Aseem Arora over six arduous years. The aim was to strike an emotional chord similar to their earlier project ‘Batla House’, which left an indelible mark on its audience.

In portraying a gripping story inspired by two chilling real-life events, the film promises to be more than just an action flick. It delves into the tumultuous journey of a young girl and her jaded, sardonic mentor as they search for justice in the maze of Indian politics and power play. The plot not only resonates with Advani’s affinity for stories rooted in reality but also pushes the envelope with the extent of action showcased, driven by John Abraham’s prowess as a performer.

Playing opposite John, is Sharvari Wagh, whose powerful portrayal required her to explore deeply uncomfortable emotional spaces. One can only imagine the dedication and tenacity it required for her to maintain composure during the filming of such raw and intense scenes.

Besides John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh, ‘Vedaa’ boasts of a talented ensemble with Abhishek Banerjee and Tamannah Bhatia taking on prominent roles. This film, produced by Zee Studios, Emmay Entertainment, and JA Entertainment, is penned by Aseem Arora and promises to be a high-voltage narrative that blurs the lines between cinema and pressing social narratives.

Advani’s enthusiasm is palpable as he talks about the film’s development over the years, noting the challenges faced in scripting something profound and action-packed, which remains truthful and grounded in reality. ‘Vedaa’ intends to ask tough questions and stir the conscience of its audience through its gritty portrayal of the pursuit of justice.

The poster of ‘Vedaa’ itself is a stark visual representation of the film’s tone. It depicts John Abraham yielding a knife, his expression taut with intensity. Meanwhile, Sharvari is seen behind him, suggesting a powerful backstory with just the visual cues of scar marks under her eye. The imagery sets the stage for a narrative brimming with suspense, action, and emotive storytelling.

As the film’s release approaches, the actors and crew are likely to heighten the promotional campaign, ensuring that ‘Vedaa’ is not just a fleeting mention in the multitude of cinema options but becomes etched in the minds of potential viewers. With the promise of delivering a film that intelligently juxtaposes thrilling action with a stark commentary on societal power structures, this film is poised to be a potential hit when it debuts across cinemas.
