Salman Khan replaces Hrithik Roshan in SHHUDDHI

After reports of almost every actor in the industry replacing Hrithik Roshan for Karan Malhotra’s SHHUDDHI, Karan Johar has signed Salman Khan for the film.

While the leading lady is yet to be announced, Dharma Productions has blocked the ‘Diwali 2016’ weekend for the film, which was previously rumoured to be the release week of Shahrukh Khan’s next with Aditya Chopra (a rumour that was denied by Yash Raj Films on Tuesday).

Karan Malhotra, who last directed Hrithik in Agneepath, will be directing Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra in the Hindi remake of ‘The Warrior’, after which he will begin work on ‘SHHUDDHI’.

Meanwhile, Salman will also wrap up all his pending films after the release of Kick, which includes Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

While it will always remain a mystery why Hrithik Roshan decided not to do ‘SHHUDDHI’ and instead opted for Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Mohenjo Daro’, the makers couldn’t have hoped for a better replacement than Salman for the ambitious Karan Malhotra film.

  • Thank You Karan Johar for turning one well made movie into yet another typical salman masala flick where everthing would be there except for “acting”!

  • Finally salman khan is going to do a classy movie like shuddhi after doing so many remakes.shuddhi will be blockbuster like ek tha tiger which was also first offered to hritik roshan.

  • Karan Malhotra wrote the film for Hrithik so only he can do justice to it, i still don’t understand why he left? since malhotra will now do warrior remake first then shuddhi by that Hrithik would have been fully free then what was the problem?? it was a great chance to see Agneepath team re-create the magic again.

  • Thats a very good news . Nice decision to take salman khan in shuddhi. Diwali 2016 will going to be really huge.

  • Great news
    Yesterday yrf declared they are not working with king
    And today kjo signed salman for non other than MAGNUM OPUS SHHUDDHI

  • Salman khan is going to boggle every1’s mind in 2015 and 2016 (both the eids and both diwalis are booked) Atbbs raining in coming 2 years from salman

  • Wat a line up of movies now Salman is gonna have in next 2 yrs….

    25th July (Eid): KICK

    Diwali 2015:PRDP
    Eid 2016: Sultan(not confirmed though)
    Diwali 2016 :Shhuddhi

    2016:No Entry Mai Entry

    Content wise Shhudhi looks Very Strong and Sultan also as it wud be directed by Talented Shimit Amin…
    But I strongly believe that a Clash is now inevitable with SRK…. and Strongly Support dat Clash of Titans Should now again Happen…cz Salman just cant take all Festive weekends evrytym…

    As a Fan of all Actors Now I wud strongly Press dat a Clash Specially a SRK -SALMAN Showdown should happen wit no bad blood put into it but Just Pure Competition

  • hrithik as an actor wud hv given justice to d character (i feel)…physically both r gud…not sure if salman can meet d expectations…frm such a highly-anticipated bollywood movie…

  • Oh no.we thought karan will cast our king for shuddhi but he casted salman khan and the reason can be that mnik got hit status while even newcomers sid;varun;alia and arjun gave karan superhits with soty and 2 states

  • Indicine u r forgetting someone’s birthday, that is none other beautiful katrina kaif….plz post somethingabout her

  • Kick (Sajid Nadiadwala) – 25th July, 2014.

    Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Kabir Khan) – EID, 2015.

    Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (Sooraj Barjatya) – Diwali,2015.

    Sultan (YRF) -EID, 2016.

    Shuddhi (Dharma Production) – Diwali 2016.

    No Entry Me Entry(Boney Kapur)

    (Note: All officialy confirmed & not rumors created by some biased sites)

    All big banners & big directors want to work with Salman & waiting in row for him.
    And why not they..? Everyone want to work with the Megastar & bag the big cash as much as they can.

    On the other hand YRF denied the rumors of romantice film with Oldy.

  • finally karan johar got know that shahrukh ,varun se paisa nahi milta .paise kamane hain to salman aamir chahiye .dying to see aamir and akki in kjo .
    good job kjo all the best .
    movie is hoping diwali 2016 will not runied for us like all diwali are going boring

  • Yes, awesome salman is choosing good script and working with good director and production houses i am sure he will rock, salman upcoming movies lineup are best he is takeing his work seriously. Shudhi will be blockbuster salman should not work with his brother they are just using stardom to make nonsense movie best of luck salman sir.

  • Superb news.Now Karan johar’s Dharma productions will get their 1st atleast 250 crore movie bcoz of Salman khan while working with another khan they even failed to crossed 100 crores.Also another big production house YRF got their biggest hit ‘Ek tha tiger’ and ‘Dhoom 3’ starring Salman and Aamir so Karan noticed that and moved to Salman khan to taste big hit.

  • Karan has only 1 ATBB which was Kuch kuch hota hai and the big reason behind that was Salman khan’s extended role and after that till date Karan has not got any ATBB but as now Karan signed Salman again so Shuddhi have high chances to become 2nd ATBB of Karan’s production house.

  • And@indicine:you just cann’t say it’s replacement as hro already opted out before the makers signed sallu.

  • Wow!! That’s marvelous!! Eagerly waiting for KICK.

    Salman Khan Next Films
    1- PRDP by Sooraj Barjatya (Diwali 2015)
    2- Bhajrangi Bhaijaan by Kabir Khan Next (Eid 2015)
    3- Boney Kapoor’s No Entry Mein Entry directedby Anees Bazmee

    5- Karan Johar’s Shuddhi (Diwali, 2016) Directed by Agneepath fame Karan Malhotra, the Dharma’s most ambitious project.

    Salman rocks infinitely.

  • Bajrangi bhaijaan- action-love story,
    Prem Ratan Dhan Payo- family drama,
    No entry mein entry- comedy,
    Sultan- action,
    Shhudhhi- Based on God Shiva.
    wow what lineup of films yr… Salman, Salman & Salman everywhere….?

  • HRITHIK LEFT SHUDDHI. I don’t think the reason for it is the health issue. If datz the reason, then why hrithik agreed for mahenjodaro which may go on floor in the same time as shuddhi?

    THE REASON IS THE STATEMENTS OF KJO N BEBO WHO WERE SHOWING THEIR DISINTEREST AND RELEASED THEIR BULLSHIT STATEMENTS ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA WHICH WAS SHOWING THEIR HOPELESSNESS AND DISINTEREST. After seeing those statements ,hrithik decided to leave shuddhi. The another reason might be his depression after divorce.
