Hrithik Finally Decides To Go For Agneepath

Amitabh Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan

It’s now official that, it’s not Abhishek Bachchan but Hrithik Roshan to play Amitabh Bachchan’s historic role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in the remake ofAgneepath. Amitabh Bachchan is such an iconic figure, that any young actor would bid to play his role.

Hrithik was so keen to play Big B’s role that he put aside his previous commitment that is of Vishal Bharadwaj’s next film. His schedule was fixed that after Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish, he will go for Vishal Bharadwaj’s film. But now he will first go for the remake of Agneepath. However Vishal will wait for him. Till he completes the remake, Vishal will go for some other subject with some other actor.

A source said, “Vishal had already spoken to Hrithik about his next film but as Hrithik will first do Agneepath, the filmmaker too decided to go ahead with another subject that he had in mind with a different actor. Vishal is willing to wait for Hrithik to star in the film they had earlier discussed as he is keen to work on that particular subject only with Hrithik. Hrithik too had loved Vishal’s script which is why they had agreed in principle to work together. Hrithik will start Vishal’s film but at a later stage.”

Karan Johar will produce the film, while Karan Malhotra who has been associated with Karan Johar for a long time will direct the film.
