Karan Johar's 'Shuddhi' has been in the news for few years now. Initially, the film was offered to Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor but due to various reasons, the actors opted out.

Later, it was learnt that KJo had cast Salman Khan in the lead and then everybody was eagerly waiting to know which actress will bag the lead role.

But it seems, things didn't work out there as well and the film finally went to Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. Everything was hunky dory and Karan also declared that Shuddhi will release in Christmas 2016, until recently a report that surfaced in a leading daily said that the film has been shelved.

Though there have been no official announcements regarding the same, the rumour has been strong in the industry about the film not happening.

Alia too chose to stay mum over the issue. When we asked Alia about it, she said, "I don't think I am the right person to talk about it. The official announcement should be made by the makers. I can't say anything that isn't declared. I am the wrong person. I am just an actor. I just have to say yes or no. How, where and what about the film is the producers call."

Guess, we shall have to wait some more to know the exact status of the movie!

But I think Ayan's film is still happening sometime next year:

You are going to work with Ranbir Kapoor in Ayan Mukerji's next...

I am very excited, because that film will go on the floors at a time when I would have had two releases behind me, and would want to be on the sets again. Also, I have a superb equation with Ayan. He is my 3am friend. Working on a set with him would be very interesting. And I have made no bones about the fact that I am very fond of Ranbir, as an actor. Now, I know him very well as a person too. Karan (Johar; film-maker) recently told me, "Ranbir is the best person to have on the sets." I have heard similar things from Imtiaz (Ali; director) too.

God this Shudhi nonsense needs to end already..This film has got so much publicity its mind-boggling 😆
P.S. Ayaan really needs to start working on something..If not this superhero flick or whatever else its supposed to be, do something else..On one side you have Basu and other side you have Ayaan wasting their potential..And ppl like Nikhil Advani have 2 releases in 30 days 😆

Wasn't Ayan always supposed to start his film after ADHM? This is the first time in ages Aloo baby has spoke about the film and she's actually talking about it going on the floors next year. Makes me think that KJo's already discussed with her that Shuddhi will be shelved and they will start Ayan's film instead.

Ab buss bhi karo...this Shuddhi has become Ashuddh by now...its lying on the shelf so long, rejected by most actors...its date of expiry has passed! 😆
Ayan and Anurag are so tired after making their blockbusters that they have to rest for 5 yrs before they can make another good movie. 😆

Oh yes you are right..There was an article which said Karan had requested Ayaan to postpone the film so he can use the dates Ranbir allotted for him 😆 And i remember concluding that Ayaan will most probably ghost-direct ADHM which is unfortunately not the case & we are stuck with Karan 😆

KJo and Ranbir have probably told him to give full concentration to his script. 😆

^^ So that KJo can fully concentrate on ruining his own script ( or rather film 😆).

Yeah she's started talking about Ayan's film all of a sudden. I think Shuddhi is shelved, hence this one will start first. JJ sena to be shelved or indefinitely postponed also...so probably after ADHM, Biru moves on to Ayan's film abd Hirani's.
