Karan Johar’s Shuddhi has been in news for quite some time due to casting issues. Initially Hrithik Roshan was signed to play the lead role and Karan did a casting coup of sorts by pairing him with Kareena Kapoor. However, both of them quit due to personal reasons.
Now a report at filmsofindia.com says that Karan has decided to by signing on his best buddy Shah Rukh Khan in Shuddhi.
The movie is very close to the director’s heart and he is apparently not willing to wait for its shoot. He recently tweeted: “Shuddhi will release on 25th of December, 2015 and the lead cast will be announced shortly.”
It is said after Hrithik moved out of the film due to health issues, Kareena too quit the project. Though both Ranbir and Ranveer were top contenders, the film has apparently landed in Shah Rukh’s lap. Rumours also suggest that Deepika Padukone will play his lady love.
