Salman Khan has been replaced by Varun Dhawan for SHUDDHI

Shuddhi starring Varun Dhawan & Alia Bhatt

An exclusive news coming out from Bollywood that the Salman Khan, who was earlier signed for Karan Johar’s next venture Shuddhi; is now not working in the movie. Karan Johar has replaced Salman with Varun Dhawan and also Alia Bhatt has signed opposite to Varun.

The news is not so easy to digest for the fans of Salman Khan but this is true. The actual reason is not known yet but as per the buzz in air, Karan took this decision because of Salman’s two pending court cases. As Shuddhi is a high budgeted project, may Karan do not want to take risk with his money.

The second reason is- Few months back, there was some problem arose in between Karan and Salman due to the show AIB Knockout. In which they (Karan & others present there) were cracking joke on Salman’s sister Arpita, but that was removed from the video uploaded publically. At that time Salman was very disappointed with Karan and warned him to leave Shuddhi. This may also the reason for this alteration in the starcast of movie.

Yesterday Karan tweeted on twitter and made it clear that Shuddhi, directed by Karan Malhotra is starring Varun Dhawan & Alia Bhatt.

In the reply, Varun said thanks to Salman Khan.

All these formal tweets showing that everything is going fine there, but who knows the reality. May this alteration has been done because of the reasons mentioned above or it may a mutual decision considering Salman’s pending court cases. Anyways, the decision has been made and its final, we do not have any other option instead of flowing downstream.

No doubt Varun Dhawan is a good actor and in demand now a days, but Karan also knows that still he can’t be presented in place of Salman Khan or any other superstar. This alteration will definitely result in negative for Shuddhi at box office as the movie was already added in the list of Salman’s upcoming movies and now the removal will not result in good.

Happy Shuddhi to Karan Johar!
