5th March 2013

Actor Hrithik Roshan, director Karan Malhotra and producer Karan Johar who worked together in 'Agneepath', have teamed up yet again for another film titled 'Shuddhi'.

Kjo confirmed this news on his microblogging page, stating, "Team Agneepath is back...Karan Malhotra will direct his next with Hrithik in a 2014 diwali release titled SHUDDHI(purification)."

As for the other cast in the film, Karan Malhotra said, "Hrithik is in, that's for sure. There are two other characters — one of heroine and other of villain — which need to be finalized."

Sources close to the unit say that Deepika Padukone has been approached to play the female lead. Karan however states, "I have a big wishlist. And though I want one particular actress to do the film, it would be too early to talk about it. I am too superstitious when it comes to things like these."

According to the director, the film will be a romantic drama. The story is written by him and his wife Ekta and is a complete original script.

After 'Agneepath', guess the trio are planning to enter the 100-crore club once again.
