What did John say?
Talking about the box office performance of Vedaa, John said: “I think it is a brave film to do, very brave. And I am saying honestly, more than success or failure, the message you are giving in the film, the issue you are raising in the film, I think that’s very important. We’ve told it in an entertaining way, but a mudda toh mudda hi hai. Agar mudda bhaari hai, and people ko kuch bhaari dekhna pasand nahi hai toh that is their choice and I respect us bohot karta hoon. Agar unko mudda face karna hota hai, they need to face it (In my honest opinion, the message of a film matters more than its failure or success. Although we’ve told it in an entertaining way, the message remains the same. The message could be a tough pill to swallow for some people, and I respect that).”
More information
Directed by Nikkhil Advani, the action film also stars Sharvari, Abhishek Banerjee and Tamannaah Bhatia. It is based on the journey of a young woman Veda (Sharvari) who dares to challenge the status quo. Her fight for justice is bolstered by the unwavering support of an ex-soldier (John), who becomes her shield and her weapon. Veda is produced by Zee Studios, Umesh Kumar Bansal, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, John Abraham and co-produced by Meenakshi Das.
Hindustan Times’ review of Veda stated, “Nikkhil Advani has come a long way from directing sentimental romances in Kal Ho Naa Ho to now Veda. The disclaimer shown at the beginning of the film itself reveals the sensitivity of the subject.”
