I couldn't find a thread for it, Mods please merge this with the appropriate thread if I missed it. After months of speculation it looks like Hrithik Roshan is officially withdrawing from "Shuddhi". Too bad, I was so looking forward to his reunion with Kareena. Oh, well, maybe it wasn't meant to be after all. Can't blame him, though, he had a terrible year by any standard, he should take it easy. www.ibtimes.co.in/articles/538011/20140210/hrithik-roshan-opts-out-shuddhi-karan-johar.htm

Sorry for not posting on Shuddhi when we first moved over to the new boards...I had the feeling this one might get postponed. Hrithik's announcement suggests that he's going to be working with Karan Malhotra on another big project, possibly Immortals of Meluha. To me that sounds like Shuddhi's going to backburnered (or shelved altogether, as Kareena has claimed) and whenever Hrithik is done with Bang Bang he'll go straight into Immortals. However, the internet is buzzing with Ram Leela fangirls imagining Ranveer and Deepika in the lead Shruddhi roles, so I guess only time will tell whether they have any basis for that.

Karan Johar has stated on twitter that the film is going forward, currently aimed for release on Christmas Day 2015, and that the lead cast will be announced shortly. He'd been pretty coy about the casting of the leading lady for a long time between the point when the Kareena rumors surfaced and the time she was finally announced, so take that last part with a grain of salt.
Deepika, when asked, said that she had not been offered Shuddhi "yet". And we can probably rule out Katrina, since reputedly the director did not care for her behavior towards the choreographers of her item number in Agneepath (she refused to work with Ganesh Acharya's assistant Daisy Shah, sometimes alleged to be Ganesh's mistress and/or Salman's girlfriend, and insisted on working with Ganesh himself.) In terms of male lead, I'm leaning towards thinking it won't be Ranveer, since reputedly he and Kjo don't like each other that much, or SRK due to his rather full dance card (HNY still shooting, Raees and Fan yet to begin) and sort-of estrangement from Kjo.

If Deepika lands Shuddhi now, when it won't be opposite Hrithik, I will cry. I have been waiting FOREVER for these two to star opposite each other.

We need a thread for "Who has been matched with whom" = Jodis. A few days after writing the above, I started that thread : bollywhat.boards.net/thread/393 Madhu made the entry for Hrithrik. Fourteen months later, the Jodi Project has grown into five (5) threads, all linked together, with two more planned. But Hrithrik and Deepika still haven't been matched. Dancelover If Deepika lands Shuddhi now, when it won't be opposite Hrithik, I will cry. I have been waiting FOREVER for these two to star opposite each other.

It's officially Deepika: www.filmfare.com/news/deepika-in-shuddhi-5646.htmlMale lead not announced yet. Twitter buzz (don't know what sources they're using) claims Aamir is the preferred choice (made more plausible by the fact that he hasn't announced a film post-PK), and that the "backup" choices are mostly people Deepika's already worked with and seems friendly with: SRK, Akshay, Ranbir and Ranveer. my own feeling is that they're better off w/ whoever the director/Deepika feel most passionate about, rather than whoever Kjo would find cool from a bragging rights pov. Aamir and Hrithik are extremely similar in the way they approach their roles, and Ranveer is somewhat similar, so Aamir/Ranveer would seem like the ones best equipped to deal with a director who worked well with Hrithik.

Salman Khan to Romance Either Sonakshi Sinha or Jacqueline Fernandez in 'Shuddhi'?
Ever since Salman Khan gave Karan Johar's "Shuddhi" a go-ahead, there has been tremendous buzz around the film's cast. According to a Bollywood Life report, Jacqueline Fernandez and Sonakshi Sinha are being considered, but nothing has been finalised yet. "Salman has his own equation with all his leading ladies. Sonakshi was launched by him, while Jacqueline's career was resurrected by him. Shuddhi is a big film and it's natural for actresses to vie for the role. We have been in talks with a few names but no one has been finalised yet," a source told the web portal. Jacqueline, according to a Deccan Chronicle source, was spotted discussing the project with Karan Johar. However, these are not the only two names that have been linked to the film. After Hrithik Roshan pulled out of the film owing to health and personal issues, and Kareena Kapoor Khan too walked out of the project. "Karan Malhotra (director) and I have decided to unite in the most ambitious way post-Shuddhi. For now I cannot allow a vision like Shuddhi to stagnate any further. I had the finest experience an actor can have working with Karan Malhotra in 'Agneepath'," PTI quoted the "Bang Bang" star as saying. Interestingly, after Deepika Padukone's fun interaction with Salman on the Filmfare stage created ripples, it was reported that the two were bonding like professionals in order to create an equation before the film rolls. These can be counted as mere speculations as there has been no official announcement from the makers yet. "There was no formal announcement on our part, about the cast, it was all media speculation. I'm just happy and proud to have Salman. This is our first major collaboration after his special appearance in my debut film, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai," Johar told Mumbai Mirror last year.

Any of those three would look good in the period piece segments-I'd be particularly rooting for Deepika, just because it's a slightly different pairing from what we've seen, or Sonakshi, just because she is so different from producer Karan Johar's rather rigid ideas of what women should look like

Karan Johar confirmed Varun Dhawan & Alia Bhatt for Shuddi.
Funny how he dropped Hrithik and Kareena for finally having to settle with Varun and Alia...

Following the flop of Brothers, Shuddhi will most likely be shelved as Karan may not afford to put a 100cr budget on Varun & Alia's shoulders.
