The
team
came
together
to
launch
the
hotly
anticipated
trailer
on
August
1,
ahead
of
the
film’s
Independence
Day
release.
“With
due
respect
to
Batla
House,
Satyameva
Jayate
and
everything
we
have
done,
Vedaa
is
the
best
work
Nikkhil
and
I
have
done
together.
It’s
outstanding,”
declares
John.

The
actor
shared
that
he
is
always
honest
about
his
films
and
believes
that
no
amount
of
marketing
can
salvage
a
bad
film.
“I’m
proclaiming
on
stage,
Vedaa
is
a
really
good
film.
It’ll
work.
Now
how
much
will
it
work,
I
don’t
know.
But
it
has
fantastic
actors
and
Nikkhil
as
the
director.
I’m
saying
this
on-record
and
I’m
a
half-Parsi,
so
if
something’s
bad,
I
say
it.
I
don’t
care.
Vedaa
is
a
very
good
film,”
he
stresses.

Things
got
sour
when
a
mediaperson
quizzed
John
about
why
he
has
been
doing
similar
kind
of
cinema.
This
irked
the
actor
who
then
called
out
a
reporter
for
asking
a
‘bad
question’.
WATCH:
When
John
got
angry
and
said,
‘Can
I
call
out
bad
questions
and
idiots?’
In
a
departure
from
her
girl-next-door
image
as
previously
seen
in
Munjya
and
Maharaj,
Sharvari
takes
the
charge
of
a
completely
different
character
in
Vedaa.

Sharvari
became

Abhishek
Banerjee
plays
the
villain
in
the
film.
The
actor
revealed
that
he
was
initially
apprehensive
about
doing
action
scenes
with
John
but
the
touch
of
“desi
raw
action”
made
things
interesting
for
him.

Banerjee
talks
about
Vedaa‘s
‘unique’
action
sequences.
