Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor have opted out of Karan Johar's mega venture Shuddhi. According to close sources Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are in talks with Dharma. If all goes well, the two will star in Johar's magnum opus.
The dates Hrithik has allotted for Shuddhi don't work for the production house. "They are unable to match Kareena's dates with Hrithik. So both of them have volunteered to opt out of the film," says our source.
This has paved way for Deepika and Ranveer to be a part of yet another romantic drama after the stupendous success of Ram-Leela. Deepika's last film with Dharma productions, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, did record-breaking business at the box office and catapulted her to the top league. Karan has immense faith in Deepika's talent and popularity. But things are yet to be finalised. "It's confirmed that Hrithik and Kareena won't be a part of Shuddhi. Karan is in talks with Deepika and Ranveer but no one has been signed on yet," reveals Karan's associate.
Let's hope to hear some positive announcements soon.
