Varun & Alia to star in Shuddhi

The Kick superstar just revealed that he has walked out of the film and the role has now landed in Varun Dhawan's lap

Salman Khan has just revealed that he will no longer be a part of Karan Johar's much talked about project Shuddhi.The superstar, who had just wrapped up shooting for Bajrangi Bhaijaan, took to twitter to announce that Varun Dhawan has replaced him in Shuddhi. Salman, sharing a childhood pic of Varun tweeted," Kamaal karte ho Varun Dhawan...made ur dad n me so proud of u... happy Shuddhi".

Confirming the news, Karan Johar tweeted," And finally..SHUDDHI starring VARUN DHAWAN and ALIA BHATT...directed by KARAN MALHOTRA..Varun_dvn @aliaa08 @karanmalhotra21 @DharmaMovies". And so at last we know that it is Alia Bhatt who will play the leading lady in Shhuddhi.

Replying to Salman's tweet, Varun tweeted," Thank you Bhai @BeingSalmanKhan I promise to make you proud #shuddhi" .

Looks like the ABCD 2 star is going places. Now that he has stepped into Salman's shoes, we will have to see whether he can live up to people's expectations. Meanwhile, we will try to figure why Salman walked out of Shuddhi.
