Why theres no Salman Khan in 'Shhuddhi'

It shook the industry when Salman Khanannounced on Twitter last week that he is no longer acting in Shhuddhi.Karan Joharfollowed that tweet with the announcement that Varun Dhawanand Alia Bhatt were the film's lead pair. There is silence from both sides as to why Salman Khan, who was super excited about working on the project, opted out.

This decision was taken months ago, but was made public only now. Although Salman had made up his mind a while ago, he maintained silence till KJo had his cast in place. That was the understanding between them. A certain section of the industry is abuzz with news that the actor was offended that Karan was part of the AIB's live show " The Roast, where jokes were made about his younger sister Arpita and he decided to walk out of the film.

Whatever the real reason, Salman had decided very early on that he wouldn't be a part of the film. But after multiple cast changes and delays, he was kind enough to wait until Karan found his new actors.
