After months of speculations on
the casting of Karan Malhotra’s much-talked about project ‘Shuddhi‘, Karan
Johar had put the rumors to rest announcing that Salman Khan will
be playing the lead. The was in news earlier when Hrithik
Roshan and Kareena Kapoor walked out of it.
While it has been reported that
the film is all set to go on the floors this August, we hear the film’s prime
antagonist has also been finalized. Apparently, it is none other than Sanjay Duttwho
gave us the creeps as ‘Kancha Cheena’ in Karan Malhotra’s Agneepath who
will be essaying the role of the main villain in Shuddhi too.
The actor who is currently
serving his jail sentence is expected to be released from the jail by August
and so Shuddhi may be the first film that the actor takes up.
Grapevine has it that the last time Dutt was out, he discussed the script with
Malhotra and has given a nod for the role.
It will be interesting to see
Salman and Sanjay revive their chemistry on-screen but this time as foes.
