The Hindi remake of the Tamil film Vikram Vedha was announced a couple of years ago. There were reports that Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan will be seen in the remake. However, later Aamir opted out of the film, and there have been reports of Hrithik Roshan being roped in for the remake.
Now, according to a report in Times Of India, Hrithik will kickstart the shooting of the Vikram Vedha remake in June this year. A source told the daily, “Hrithik will be starting shoot for the film in June. He is going to be seen playing a Gangster, will portray the role of Vedha in the film which is quite exciting.”
“While some amount of preparation for the role is already going on for Hrithik, the month of May is going to be even more extensive with the prep for him,” the source added.
The untitled remake will be helmed by Pushkar and Gayathri. The duo had also directed the original movie.
Vikram Vedha featured R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles. While Madhavan played the role of a cop, Sethupathi portrayed the character of the gangster. Both the actors had won multiple awards for their performance in the movie.
Talking about other films of Hrithik, the actor has a movie titled Fighter announced which also stars Deepika Padukone in the lead role. It will be directed by Siddharth Anand with whom Hrithik has earlier worked in films like Bang Bang and War.
Nobody saw Charli XCX coming during Role Model’s Saturday Night Live slot. She just walked on stage.
Her choice of a Max's Kansas City t-shirt immediately set fan theories alight.
Swifties linked the top to Taylor Swift’s fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce.
It turns out, the whole thing was far simpler because she grabbed the shirt from Role Model himself.
A simple t-shirt choice during a surprise cameo has sent the pop world into a spin. Charli XCX appeared on Saturday Night Live this weekend, joining musical guest Role Model for his performance, and fans are convinced her outfit contained a pointed message for Taylor Swift. The British singer’s Max’s Kansas City top, seen during the broadcast, is being widely interpreted as a new chapter in their rumoured feud, following pointed lyrics on both of their latest records.
Fans think Charli XCX trolled Taylor Swift with Kansas City shirt during surprise SNL cameo Instagram/rolemodel
What happened during the SNL performance?
The moment happened during Role Model’s set. As he sang his track Sally, When the Wine Runs Out, he called out for his ‘Sally’. On cue, Charli XCX emerged through the stage doors to a roar from the crowd, dancing through the bridge of the song. She was in full brat mode, no surprise there. A black leather skirt, those boots, the tights. But the beat-up band shirt she had borrowed? That is what did it.

So, why is the internet losing its collective mind over a t-shirt?
Well, if you are deep in the pop gossip sphere, it makes perfect sense. Taylor Swift’s whole world lately seems to include Kansas City, thanks to her fiancé Travis Kelce playing for the Chiefs. So, when you see ‘Kansas City’ printed across Charli’s chest right after all this feud chatter? It does not look like a coincidence. It looks like a shot.
Social media lit up instantly, with fans calling the move "the tea" and calling the situation "actually romantic," a direct nod to the song from Swift’s new album The Life of a Showgirl that many believe is about Charli.

So was the shirt really a jab at Taylor Swift?
Not according to the facts. Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, quickly clarified on his Instagram Story that Charli had simply borrowed the shirt from him. He had worn the very same Max’s Kansas City top, a reference to a famed New York nightclub, not the Missouri city, in promotional material for the episode. His own sophomore album is titled Kansas Anymore, making the shirt a piece of his own branding. Despite this explanation, the visual symbolism in the heat of the rumoured feud was simply too powerful for fans to ignore.
