Vedaa, directed by Nikhil Advani and starring John Abraham and Sharvari, opened modestly with Rs 6.50 crore on Independence Day. Despite competing with Stree 2, it aims for Rs 23-24 crore over a 5-day weekend. Abraham’s buzz waned due to delays, but Vedaa hopes for decent results. The film follows Abhimanyu, a former soldier, who defies caste norms in Barmer by training Dalit boxer Vedaa.
