Hrithik Roshan opts out of Shuddhi: Statement

Hrithik Roshan has opted out of Karan Malhotra’s Shuddhi, a film that was supposed to reunite him with Kareena Kapoor.

Here is his official statement, which was sent to the media earlier today.

“Karan Malhotra and I have decided to unite in the most ambitious way post ‘Shuddhi’. For now, I cannot allow a vision like ‘Shuddhi’ to stagnate any further”

“I had the finest experience an actor can have while working with Karan in ‘Agneepath’ and I’m sure both my dear Karans (Malhotra and Johar) will go beyond with that one. ‘Shuddhi’ remains a part of me in spirit and am sure it will be a landmark in our cinema. I wish them all the best”

There are rumours that Ranveer Singh or Ranbir Kapoor will be paired with Deepika Padukone. Official annoucement is expected to be made soon.

  • Shuddhi – 150 Crore + Budget WITHOUT Hrithik ? R.I.P Shuddhi :)

    KJO – You got a Flop in your hand :)

    PS: I am GLAD, Hrithik is out of this Kareena Panauti Stuff, I am sure he has better stuff coming his way

  • every inch of interest about Shuddhi is now vanished for me atleast! though i read it last night.
    really HR is totally shattered after separation with Sussanne !! i feel HR will not do much movies from now…..very sad news for HR fan including me

  • Sad…but he is right…he can’t keep delaying Shuddhi. I hope his film with karan after Shuddhi is adaptation of Immortals of Meluha….fingers crossed

  • We’ve seen Ranbir-Deepika. We also have seen Ranveer-Deepika. Heard that Ranveer will be a part of Finding fanny too. I really wanted Hrithik to be paired with Deepika. It’s really sad thar Hrithik has walked away from the movie.

  • Oh god! I’m shocked! !first paani, now shuddhi. Both were huge projects. .disappointment! God,why only with hrithikians? ? !

  • Sad News.. I can nvr imagine anybody else doing that role.. Hrithik was perfect for that role.. Sad that he opted out…

  • This is a most ambitious project and for this need more hard work… after brain surgery hrithik will not able to give 100% for this… so its good decision for both maker & hrithik…

  • Good decision from an honest person, Best of luck both Karan…
    we all eagerly waiting this project, bad luck all hrithikians.. but i support Hrithik that health first..

  • Shuddhi without Handsome Hunk Hrithik!!!
    It will became a joke, no one will interested this project without some hrithik haters

  • Shuddhi has the spirit of only and only hrithik roshan.and all know it is a sure shot blockbuster .then why hro why?

  • Hrithik knows he cannot act well. So it is better that he retires soon. It would also reduce manipulation in bollywood.

  • @nipun, @aaryaan though it’s a veryyyy frustrating news,but plzzz don’t blame HR !! read the detail !! He is not totally recovered from His Headache & separation with His love….now He wants 2 spend more & more time with His sons!! thus He can’t finish Shuddhi quickly;so HR opts out & gives KJO & KM a chance to finish this project in time
    though i will not watch Shuddhi any more! may Almighty helps HR 2 recover soon & to back with a “bang”………..all the best HR

  • I am definitely upset after this article but the fact is that he is a wonderful human being who is thinking about others . He is right Karan Malhotra and KJO are very good friends of HR so they will definitely reunite for Immortals of Meluha because he is perfect to play Shiva . Shuddhi has been continuously postponed since December and after Bang Bang is completed Hrithik would have taken some time to prepare for the role . So Hrithik has done the right thing because after Bang Bang Hrithik will take a break and go for a vacation . Shuddhi was one of the most awaited movies of 2015 because of HR , Kareena , Pankaj Kapur , Ajay-Atul , Karan Johar and Karan Malhotra but now it is a regular movie . I hope he signs a new movie . Best of luck to HR and god bless you and best of luck . Hrithikians just stay calm because failure is temporary but class is permanent .

  • Hrithik himself is responsible for his slow progress in career. I am saying that he is progressing slow because he is a nuclear bomb who should not blast like a dewali pataka. First he, refused Rang De Basanti, Gajini, Swades and people know that how those films have become successful in their own way. He could have been the part of the success. After Paani, he should not have throw out an opportunity like this. It’s too dissapointing. If a producer is ready to spend more than 150 crore, then surely it has something that is too awesome. Why is he wasting his career when he had so many opportunity to take over SRK’s position long ago?? he is someone who can grind khans under his feet but he is just throwing opportunities. How could your reject films like Paani and Shudhdhi I will never understand!!

  • Sad!! Really expected a lot from shudhi. But I guess hrithik probably had some health issues or personal issues which made him opt out of shudhi. I know he went through a rigid brain surgery which is not at all easy to cope with. There will lots of stress on the body after a normal surgery. The stress after a brain surgery is almost double. He is one of the best actors-star of this generation. Hope he recovers soon from both his medial and personal issues and continues to entertain us again. Health first! Fans will understand, I’m sure that they care more about his health than anything else. And also hope karan finds a suitable substitute for hrithik in this film. And please guys, opt out of fan wars on this page and please wish the superstar a speedy recovery so that he can get back to work soon. Good luck hrithik. We are with u!!

  • So sad as a HR fan,
    Today,the world os so selfish,all are concerned about making their own profits..
    Producers could have waited for Hrithik’s illness to get cured..

  • enough is enough!!!!other fans keep quite.he is not rejected for shuddhi,karan malhotra/johar thought this role couldn’t be played by hr couldn’t.they took such decission to save the film from disaster like his films guzarish,kites.he can play every character but couldn’t give guarentee about hit.how dare to say to hr that he should retire?will he ever spoke.the great papa’s boy/greek servant will never retire because he didn’t bother about his flops,also whenever he will do films with his papa,his papa’s there to inflate the collection to make film FLOP to ATBB,then why the hell he should retire?also great rakeshji nominated for academy wards for rohit3 and our hr aka rohit nominated for best actor for passing the sun light through the body.also xmen and super man film’s director accused of stealing the copy rights and story of rakeshji’s rohit series.shame on hollywood which inspired by papa roshan.lol.
