I am starting to feel Shuddhi's script is not upto the level of the hype. Everybody is walking out of the film and others like Aamir-SRK rejected it.


I don't think Aamir has rejected it yet. The last I heard was that he needed some time to go through the script. And did KJO even approach SRK? Am asking because I haven't heard anything about that.

Yes apparently he did . But srk is very busy .
Shuddhi is written for hrithik and is an intense action drama film. Not everyone can pull it off . It's hrithiks niche

Same here...I think the issue lies with the script and not with anything else!
Else, Ranveer and Deepika would have surely taken it up...Shuddhi, atleast on paper, sounds like a much bigger and safer venture than Bajirao Mastani. Plus, KJo's marketing skills are unparalleled...with the rumored beaus in toe, KJo would have ensured that Shuddhi was constantly in news.
But the script must have had serious issues for actors like HR, Ranveer and Deepika not opting for it.


See, I don't really think it's the script. In an interview HR did say something along the lines of how he can't let a vision like Shuddhi be postponed any longer. I think he was keen on doing the movie but maybe because of the money issue he opted out. I really don't think it was because he needed some personal time off like he claimed. It might also be because he got offered AG's next which might have looked more promising than Shuddhi.

And also, going by the articles/rumors (PR or not) both RS and DP wanted to do Shuddhi. Earlier, Shuddhi's shooting was not clashing with BM and there were reports that SLB was okay with waiting for them to finish with Shuddhi's shooting. That was until his ego interfered and he decided to go release BM on the same day as Shuddhi. But now because of the release date and also the fact that they won't be able to allot bulk dates to both the movies, DeepVeer were forced to choose between the two projects and they went with BM because of their loyalty of SLB. I do find the loyalty bit admirable especially in BW where no one is loyal to anyone but if DP had given her nod to Shuddhi first like the reports claim, it's very unprofessional of her to walk out of it now.

This is just desperation on dharma part to show how victimised they were to have hrithik walk out at the eleventh hour . They can't find a replacement and have become a joke.
Hrithik isn't money minded at all . He even gave his fees back to sanjay when guzaarish failed . This is garbage and anyone who has followed hrithik knows this isn't his style


OMG really? I had no idea about that. Awww I am really proud to be his fan :P

Yes he did
And deepika didn't sign shuddhi . She can't sit around forever waiting for them to sign a hero . They didn't deliver and BM is ready . Of course she will sign as mastani . It's an iconic strong role .

what a great and nasty joke by dharma and KJO's PR now .. Huh only becos u couldn't find actors for the film, now you conveniently try and gain footage once again by highlighting HR and his reasons of opting out ?
Firstly HR is not money minded at all, he has always done big films, and nowhere money issues popped up .

secondly, KJO himself told that with HR in the film, budget will be 150 cr and all, then when you can stake so much money at him then why cannot he ask for a profit share ? If HR's making the film a success would be so uncertain why would the film have so high budget ?

I am superglad that HR left this film, for whatever reasons he did, one shuddhi or puddhi won't change anything. even small actors like Ranveer have rejected the film , so i dont see Aamir doing it.

Plus ppl stop boasting Aamir's success, dhoom3 anyhow was supposed to break records, the film would do the same if any other khan or big actor would do it as the franchise is larger than life. and b4 dhoom3, we all know what happened to Talaash.

Aamir's last 3 films do have one film which is not a cleant hit, salman also has the same graph currently.

only SRK and HR are the top actors whose last three films are clean hits and actually huge hits , so let these two get the credit and mention when a comparison arises.

and yes, lastly i really do not mean that HR is bigger than khans, but he definitely is a better choice than Khans for any of these dhoom, shuddhi or bajirao roles, irrespective of the BO profits they bring.

I agree to your points but Salman had 5 blockbusters back to back which is incredible and dabangg being a atbb..per boi..and dhoom can be done by the khans and disagree that Salman cant do a dhoom..as it requires style more then anything!!

On topic kjo is a user simple and even he asked on share so what kjo is just cheap srk used to work in his movies with getting paid less and so did others...whatver the reason he decided not to do it is good and hope hrithik dont get lured back unless it worth it...
This project since hr as been gone is jinxed lol

Looking at the situation with Shuddhi I guess HR is justified. There is no one in BW who has his kind of good looks added to his BO pull. I mean who can imagine Aamir of all people to replace HR. KJo better give HR what he wants and get him back if he wants Shuddhi to take off.

yes he did have and thats what, a guy who gave 5 back to back BBs can also giove a semit hit, esp when he didnt had a release for a whole year and the comeback was awaited, still Jai ho underperformed.. the starpower theory didn't work here, and not that who can bring how much profit.
So my point was only the consistency Jess, currently SRK and HR do have a good graph and including salman too, Jai ho can be forgettable once his next release does wonders.
Jess, i didnt say dhoom cant be done by the khans, it can obviously done by every1, but HR can do it better, he indeed did it better..
Salman stepping in or SRK stepping in cannot wipe away the blunder and disappointment dhoom3 was in terms of one of the most awaited films, and you know am not talking about BO here, its just the whole film, it was a bullshit.

And to be honest, i feel Salman doesn't care anymore, or dont see his potential, orelse, we would see less of south remakes,. alas, his choice, we viewers/fans can only hope that they succeed, obviously what we expect from these actors does not matter anymore, becos just like them, now fangroups also only care about 100/200 crs, its not about quality anymore but quantity, and I know, HR does his level best to choose quality thus i tolerate him and will toelrate him unless he choose the other path.

Jess hopefully HR will do AG movie, atleast for the actor he is, he needs to do it.

HR has apparently signed 2 big films, so KJO even if he wants cannot get HR back in this sinking ship.. well m happy about it.
