The makers of the Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan starrer, "Vikram Vedha", have issued an official statement on the rumours about budget and shooting locations. The reports said that the budget of the film went higher due to Hrithik Roshan's demand to shoot the film in the UAE instead of Lucknow. Reliance Entertainment has cleared the rumours once and for all. Read the official statement below:

"We have been noticing a lot of misleading and totally unsubstantiated reporting on the Vikram Vedha shooting locations. We clearly want to state that Vikram Vedha has been shot extensively in India, including Lucknow.""A portion of the film was shot in the United Arab Emirates in October-November of 2021 since it was the only location providing the infrastructure for a bio-bubble that accommodated crew of such scale, also allowing building of sets in a studio during the preceding months of the shoot."
"We chose to do that out of health and protocol concerns. Any attempts to twist these set of facts are clearly mischievous and untruthful. Also, we would like to emphatically state that at Reliance Entertainment while we welcome suggestions from creative talent, the production and budgetary decisions are a centralised prerogative."
