Salman by mistake confirms he is in Shuddhi/Sultan with YRF

The cat's out of the bag finally. After months of speculations, Salman himself revealed today that he will be doing Karan Johar's much ambitious and awaited next Shuddhi.

"I am doing Karan Johar's movie," said Salman. When we asked him to name the movie, pat came Salman's reply, "Shuddhi."

The answer had a eureka effect on all the assembled media personnel which alarmed Salman who by way of self-introspection asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

Realising that he had let the cat unadventurous out of the bag, Salman tried to make amends. "Well, I don't know which movie of Karan Johar I am doing," said a smiling Salman.

Alas! It was too late in the day as the secret was out already. Salman, however refused to reveal who the heroine opposite him would be. When we asked if it's Kareena, Salman pleaded ignorance and said he doesn't know anything about the female lead of the movie.

Salman's bonding with Karan Johar was very evident especially after his appearance on Koffee with Karan. Recently, he was also seen at Ek Villain's success party where he gifted Karan's protg Sidharth Malhotra his expensive watch. All this only pointed to his growing bond with KJO.

Shuddhi was earlier offered to Hrithik who officially walked out of the project. Later Aamir's name started doing the rounds until Aamir himself confirmed to us that KJO never offered him the movie. Now with Salman confirming his presence in Shuddhi, we feel it's perhaps time for KJO to come out of the closet and make an official announcement himself. Wonder what SRK has to say about KJO's new bonding with Salman Khan.
