Vedha is the 125th film of Shiva Rajkumar and is the fourth collaboration between him and director A Harsha. The movie also stars Shwetha Chengappa, Veena Ponappa, Umashree, Ganavi Laxman, and Aditi Sagar.
Shiva Rajkumar is in iconic hero in the Kannada film world and Vedha, directed by A Harsha, proves that the 60-year-old actor still has what it takes to woo his fans.

The movie starts off by showing a young woman being harassed by a man on public transport. She comes home and complains to her grandmother, who then proceeds to read her the story of Vedha (Shiva Rajkumar) and the movie starts to go back in time.

Director A Harsha cuts from the 1960s, where we see a young Vedha and how he gets married to Pushpa (Ganavi Laxman), to the 1980s, where we see Vedha and his daughter Kanaka (Aditi Sagar), going on a revenge killing spree. The father and daughter seem to be looking for a certain set of people and head from one place to another in this revenge drama. While police inspector Rama (Veena Ponappa) is hot on their pursuit, Paari (Shweta Chengappa), a sex worker, is intent on killing Vedha’s friend (Raghu Shimoga). What happened to Pushpa? Why are Vedha and Kanaka killing these men?

The women in this movie all have strong performance-oriented roles and we see Vedha take a backseat for a large part, allowing these women – from the police officer to the daughter – to showcase their strength on screen. Actors Shwetha Chengappa, Veena Ponappa, Umashree, Ganavi Laxman, and Aditi Sagar, really shine in this film in their respective roles.
