It's confirmed: Deepika will play Hrithik's Sati in 'Shuddhi'

The recent buzz in the B-town is that the 'Ram-Leela' star has Kareena KapoorKhan in 'Shuddhi' opposite superstar Hrithik Roshan.

There were news that Karan Johar is bringing his "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham" co-stars Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor back in his next home production "Shuddhi". Karan too confirmed the news, "I'm excited to see Hrithik and Kareena back after 12 years. When Karan (Malhotra) came to me with Shuddhi, his desire was to cast Hrithik and Kareena. I spoke to both of them and they were happy to be on board," Johar said in a statement.

But now dusky beauty Deepika Padukone has replaced Kareena Kapoor Khan in the film.

What went wrong? Has Dippy become KJo's fav after the superhit 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'?

If the reports are to be believed, after the failure of Kareena's 'Gori Teri Pyaar Mein', there has been a slight rift between the two close friends and now both Kareena and Karan are not willing to work with each other in near future.

Recently the begum os Pataudi herself clarified that she is not sure of doing 'Shuddhi'.

So, the makers approached Deepika Padukone for the role and she agreed. Now, the actress is working out dates to fit 'Shuddhi'.

Produced by Karan Johar, the film will be directed by 'Agneepath' fame Karan Malhotra. It is slated for a 2014 release.

It will be a delight to watch Hrithik and Deepika romance onscreen.
