'Vikram Vedha': Hrithik Roshan cuts ties with his character, says it's 'time to let go'

Hrithik Roshan's 'Vikram Vedha' released in theatres on September 30, and it has received a positive response from the audience as well as the critics. The actor took to Instagram on Monday and announced that he's now cutting ties with his character Vedha. Sharing a clip in which he is seen cutting a black thread from his wrist, Hrithik wrote a lengthy note talking about the commitment he makes to himself before beginning work.

'I don’t know exactly when I started doing this. Or even why. But I realized today that i’v secretly done this for every character that terrified me.Mostly it’s a red mauli ( kabir wore that) and sometimes it’s a black thread. Can’t even remember when I started this. Was it kaho na pyaar hai ? Or koi mil gaya or much later ? ( Wil have to go back and check my wrists or neck in those films) cause it’s never planned. Vedha got it at dress rehearsals n became it. Kabir got it at the War mahurat pooja and i made it a part of him. I think I do it cause it physically anchors the commitment I make to myself before I begin. A secret pact between me and myself,' he worte.

He added that the ritual of cutting the sacred thread is always confusing.

'For vedha I tried once my shoot got over but couldn’t , then when my dub got over , but again couldn’t. And then I finally did when the question I ask myself had a satisfactory answer “Did I give this everything I had?” “Can I do more ?” - it’s a question that scares me , drives me , n keeps me searching for more,' he added.

He concluded his note saying that Vedha has been a 'terrific journey'.

'Thru him I learnt to be. At peace with my failings. Unafraid and unapologetic. I will always be grateful to my directors and writers Pushkar and Gayatri for creating this opportunity. Thank you Vedha. I let go. With love and gratitude,' he said.

The action-thriller 'Vikram Vedha', which also stars Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte, has reportedly collected ₹38 crore in opening weekend.
