EXCLUSIVE: Salman Khan's brother Sohail Khan registers Karan Johar's film title 'Shuddhi'
This film has been in the making and in talks since many many years but looks like it has now hit a roadblock of sorts. Read on to know some exclusive details.
There are certain films in Bollywood that are made over a span of few months and others that take years just to get some details right. Well, Shuddhi is one such film. This film has been in the making and in talks since many many years but looks like it has now hit a roadblock of sorts. Shuddhi was reported to be Karan Johar's dream project with Salman Khan in the lead role. However, according to latest sources, Salman Khan's brother now seems to have registered the title.
When casting for Shuddhi initially kicked off, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor Khan were slated to star in the film. However, Hrithik soon opted out and the search ended with Salman Khan giving a nod to the film which will be helmed by 'Brothers' director Karan Malhotra. However, Salman, who was supposed to co-produce Kesari with Karan Johar, opted out of the project later.
After a lot of back and forth and amid reports of film being cancelled, producer Karan Johar had clarified that Shuddhi will definitely happen and he may get his students Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan to star in the same.
Now, an insider exclusively has told Pinkvilla, that there is a high possibility of Sohail Khan making Shuddhi. If there is any truth to the matter, he may just cast brother Salman in the lead role. This means that despite opting out of Karan Johar's Shuddhi, Salman may still end up doing a film titled by the same name but with his brother Sohail Khan instead.
