Aamir has opted out of the film reported a leading webloid. The reason behind Amir's voluntary exit is said to be his dissatisfaction over how the final screenplay of Vikram Vedha remake is being worked out. The actor, who is known for going to extents for achieving excellence in all his endeavours had really liked the original but apparently was not impressed with its Hindi version.
While Aamir has backed out, Saif is still part of the film but now the filming will be delayed as the makers will have to find a replacement of Aamir. In the film, Saif will be reportedly seen playing the role of a righteous cop Vikram in pursuit of gangster Vedha, which was supposed to be essayed by Aamir.
In the original film, R. Madhavan played the cop Vikram while Vijay Sethupathi essayed Vedha. The remake will be helmed by Pushkar-Gayatri who also directed the original.
