After Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan, who were previously announced as the lead stars of Karan Malhotra’s ambitious film ‘Shuddhi’, it will be Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt who will be headlining the film.
Karan Johar made the announcement on Twitter “And finally..SHUDDHI starring VARUN DHAWAN and ALIA BHATT…directed by KARAN MALHOTRA..”
Director Malhotra tweeted “SHHUDDHI starts immediately after BROTHERS!!!! My 3rd with Karan Johar!! Alia Bhatt & Varun Dhawan welcome aboard!!!”
Salman Khan too wished Varun on bagging the film “Kamaal karte ho Varun Dhawan…made ur dad n me so proud of u… happy Shhuddhi”
Well, after several changes to the star cast, ‘Shhuddhi’ will finally go on floors after the release of ‘Brothers’. It remains to be seen if the makers will cut down on the cost and scale of the film, now that it has a much smaller star cast as compared to superstar like Hrithik and Salman.
And if the makers still want to adhere to the pre-declared budget of more than 100crs then I won’t be surprised if Shuddhi turns into another BOMBAY VELVET!!!
Also the fact it is being delayed since 2-3yrs now..
kjo has gone kaput after disastrous BV. Good for him to loose some crores then he will realize it. I hope this is the final cast n movie really happens !!!!!!!
@pakistani javed
Both of us live outside of India but unlike me you clearly havent been reading up on present affairs of Bollywood coz if you did then you would know why Karan Johar never offered a big project like Shuddhi to former best beau Sarook…! They had a lovers tiff yrs ago about Arjun Rampal n now it seems our Queen is on the OUT n the new IN is Karan Arjun ie Karan Johar ??? Arjun Rampal…!
The Some Buddhawale is hell bent on drowning Varuns career along with every other member of his crappy floppistan team…!
Get lost you chameleon
disapponited.@to all srk fans tell ur srk now that leave eid slot now because salman will start none other thab yash raj SULTAN and it will be definitely ready for next eid.
Like this year srk had to left eid same coming for him next year.
TELL UR SRK BE READY ABOTHER SURGERY BECOZ WITHOUT EID SRK CAN ONLY GIVE HIT.
So sultan is coming nxt diwali , but why big stars have rejected the film even heroines also not wants to do.
#Doubtful film .Is this is like another bombay velvet coming?
I don’t know why people are so obsessed with shuddi. Nipun has made this film big when hritik was supposed to do. Then might be nothing in the script that y both hritik and salman left it.
There can be only 2 reasons that why KJo kicked Salman Khan from Shuddhi. 1) coz of Salman’s 5 years sentenced. 2) Bhai ko Acting nahi Aati…
Varun dhawan Has gave 4 hits bt it doesn’t mean he is superstar Now ! Sidharth malhotra & Aditya Roy kput r far better then him % time will come when varuns movies will flop …He need to change his Body language & Dialgue delivery ! also Abcd 2 Lukin dull & so varun In the movie .
Salman in non masala or non commercial films was giving big flops so no guarantee shuddhi would be a hit. jai ho, something slightly (and just slightly) diff to his usual films flopped so whats to say shuddhi wouldn’t?
@I Am A Sad Khan Nangawale
Theres only 2 reasons why you would turn up on a Karan Johar article which ate:-
1- if Karan has forgiven King over Arjun affair
2- and if so then will he offer Dharmas biggest project ever to our Global Queen…
Sadly for you the answer to both is a Big Fat NO do do a runner of a cliff
@iamakn
and the reason y karan dnt even think abot casting sarook is Artificial acting and lack of versatility
@Javed ,bro very well said.
@IAMAKN,bro you rock big time,keep it on man.
@salman fans,salman will kick out of shuddhi ,that I knew very well many days ago before these news came to media,because it’s a common sense that if you replace salman in place of hr that too in a karan malhotra direction(who did intense agneepath-2),then logically the movie will completely sink at bo as salman is a non actor and HISTORY witnessed whenever bhai tried to act,audiences rejected him with out seeing the trailer also.biggest examples are—-marigold,yuvraj,main aur Mrs khanna-the 3 ultimate ATFB(ALL TIME FLOPBUSTERS) in the History of Indian cinema.leave Varun,if bhai can learn Acting from talentless Arjun kapoor than that’ll be an milestone achievement for the non actor.well peoples at least get rid of bhai’s epic torture once again in the name CLASS.Now WE can happily watch Shuddhi.I don’t know how to thank KJO SIR for kicked out salman and kareena,I’m happy now.
@sk,why are asking like a beggar – give the EID slot like a child.if salman has the dare then tell him to clash his bullistan with RAEES,then we’ll see bhai’s power.KING KHAN is a LION who is snatching release dated according to HIS DESIRE.If any one comes in the way,then result will be same what happened with disasters like jaaneman,saawariya.so take easy,don’t flow with emotions much,OK?about Surgery that’s just a minor operation that’ll last 2 days after that LION will be ready to hunt HIS enemy’s hopes,ambitions.so don’t control your emotions.
@navin,pagalpur ke bhojpuri auncle,there would be no other reason why Varun replaced non actor because your non actor doesn’t know acting,that’s it.now soon WE will also get a news bhai is replaced someone else in sultan by YRF .this not as bhai will go to jail but due to his non acting talent kicked out from these CLASSY FILM.so this is just the begining you fool,ROFL.
@ultron,KING KHAN is doing even bigger CLASS films then shuddhi ,so KING KHAN is not at all interested to be casted in Shuddhi.also KING KHAN will only work with DHARMA PRIDUCTIONS,if KJO will direct a GRAND BUDGET movie.why will KJO will unnecessary will cast A GIANT CLASS ACTOR in such a small ambitious project,for this HIS junior CLASS actors like Hr,Varun is there?never do such jokes like again because you along with whole world knows WHO starred in movies like VZ,DDLJ,DARR,BAAZIGAR,SWADES,KHNH,DEVDAS,CDI,RNBDJ,MNIK.if you did such jokes again there is high chances you’ll be slapped even at your home also,lol.
Budget will come down varun’s fees are not anywhere near what the a-listers charge, no need to term it a part 2 of BV, it could be a great film. Congrats to the cast it’s a great opportunity
Oh no! Our magajheen bhau again got kicked out from Shuddhi! What will happen to our bhau if everyone kicks him from their film? I think he will do good in jail. lol
After casting Sallu, both Karans got to know that he didn’t improve his acting skils and still dances like Bandar Raja. For this good news, 1k kele to his magajheen fans from me. lele…
They needed an actor, so they changed the star cast.
Disappointed after this but indicine why Salman left shudhi now surely sultan is coming on next Eid
Inse na ho payega :-p
Salman now left only with two option arbaaz and sohail :-p
Some sallu fans are saying > that sultan will come on eid 2016….. lols…!!!!
I desperately want to see sallu’s guts.
If he has the smallest guts, then he will clash with raees…. we will see the result …
Ur bhai might to to jail forever who knows.
* the reason ur bhai opted out of shuddi is that he would spoil the whole movie…!!!
* he should go back to south remakes…!!!
If anyone has courage then they can clash with srk movies ….. we will see the result.
@iamAKN.Why r u giving ur reasons before knowing.Yhere r to reasons why salman left shuddhi
1-karan hosted AIB knock where he also say bad words for salman sister arpita khan and eveyone know sister comes first.
2-karan johar asked salman to give 180 days which salman said he can do 2 movie in that time.
I am happy becasue bhojpuri is out of the film .
so salman khan won’t get a festive release next year,
raees-eid
shudhi-diwali
dangal-christmas
if sallu has guts then pls release your next movie in non-holiday period and prove your stardom
@Team Indicine: Any idea why Salman opted out??
Wasnt interested in that project after HR ….And then lost remaining interest when I came to know that a non actor s going to sign this movie….At the end Varun will handle this movie better than salman..but no doubt star value of varun is nothing infront of salman…so its budget must be cut down
I think, it was intentionally given to Hritik and Salman. But actually they(both Karan) already fixed this project to Varun Dhawan before given to Hritik and Salman.
I think, it was intentionally given to Hritik and Salman to make buzz. Actually they(both Karan) already fixed this project to Varun Dhawan before given to Hritik and Salman. Both Karan must know films does well based on content not buzz.
