Karan Johar's long-in-the-making ambitious project Shuddhi has hit many roadblocks since its announcement in early 2013. Earlier the casting issues led to speculations about the film being shelved. However, when Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan came on board a few months ago, things started to look perky. Alas! Looks like, bad luck seems to have caught up with KJo again.

According to a popular daily, a few reliable sources from KJo camp have been stating that Shuddhi has finally been dropped since there was no progress in the project. As per reports, the budget was also one of the reasons for the makers rethinking taking the film on floors. During a media interaction last August, KJo got upset when he was asked about the film. "Oh my god, oh my god, I am folding my hands and bowing down to you all, stop asking me questions about 'Shuddhi'. I don't know what kind of bad omen the movie is going through, I am not able to make it," he had said.

There was buzz that dates given to the production house by Alia and Varun will be adjusted for the sequel of KJo's 2014 hit Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania starring the duo. The filmmaker remained unavailable for comment, while the source added, "Varun, who had stopped signing films to focus onShuddhi, is now scouring for challenging scripts, indicating that the film has been shelved. He is now busy with other projects " his brother Rohit Dhawan's Dishoom to be followed by a gangster flick. Alia, too, will shortly begin shooting with Shah Rukh Khan for Gauri Shinde's next."

Initially, stars like Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor Khan had been approached for the film, but it couldn't work out with anyone.

Too much of bad omen..ehhh?

for the nth time? Waiting for the (n+1)th announcement from KJo.

Now Kjo will tweet and confirm that Shuddhi is "happening" and he is "annoyed by certain sections of media" for this "rubbish" news.

Yeh film itni gir gayi thi ki Hrithik-Kareena se lele seedhe Varun-Alia pe aa gayi thi, it's better it's shelved for good.

I'm happy for Varun Alia.😊This was jinxed 😛

This might go the Bajirao Mastani way...

I thought it was already shelved long time back 😆

Hasn't this been obvious for a while now?

K-jo will revive the project in 10 years time with Khushi Kapoor and Aryan Khan.
