John Abraham’s much-awaited action thriller Vedaa is gearing up to make a grand entrance in theatres on Friday. Directed by Nikkhil Advani, the film promises to be a striking release that combines high-octane action with a compelling social message. As the release date approaches, here’s everything you need to know about Vedaa.

Vedaa is scheduled to release on August 15, 2024, coinciding with India’s Independence Day. This timing makes for a tight competition at the box office as Vedaa will be pitted against two other highly anticipated films – Khel Khel Mein and Stree 2. The simultaneous release of these films is expected to create a buzz and grab a lot of attention from moviegoers.

The trailer for Vedaa has successfully ratcheted up the tension by giving a glimpse of the intense plot. Exploring themes of caste discrimination and untouchability, the film follows the journey of an ex-army officer and an ordinary girl who unite to challenge systematic oppression.

In the trailer, John Abraham’s character, Major Abhimanyu Kanwar, is seen reciting a shloka from the Bhagavad Gita while fighting opponents. After being court-martialed for disobeying orders, Abhimanyu takes on the role of a mentor to Sharvari’s character, Vedaa. Vedaa, who hails from an oppressed caste, is harassed by a higher-caste individual. In search of justice, she approaches Abhimanyu to learn self-defense and combat techniques.
