It shook the industry when Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was replaced by a newbie Varun Dhawan.
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 the ace filmmaker had his cast in place.
One of the reasons is that Salman was offended that Karan made jokes about his sister Arpita, while some suggest that Shuddhi required bulk dates from the actor, to the tune of 180 days, which Sallu Miyaan wasn’t willing to commit to.
Whatever the real reason, Salman had decided very early on that he wouldn’t be a part of the movie. But after multiple delays and cast changes, he was kind enough to wait till Mr. Johar found his new actors. Thoughts!
