Hrithik Roshan failed in 2013, and despite denials, silence, and mixed signals, the trade indicates that Ranveer will do this in 2028
13 years ago, Karan Johar’s dream to make the screen adaptation of The Immortals of Meluha with Hrithik Roshan was aborted. It was titled Shuddhi back then, and everyone was excited because they felt that Hrithik, loosely referred to as Indian cinema’s Greek God, would make the perfect Lord Shiva, with his striking personality and searing amber-coloured eyes.
The Free Press Journal did a quick flashback, and we bring here the full details of that unfinished dream. Karan took to Twitter on February 17, 2014, to say that the film was still in the pipeline. “SHUDDHI will release on Friday, the 25th of December, 2015... the lead cast will be announced shortly,” the filmmaker tweeted.
Then, in 2016, KJo and his Agneepath director, Karan Malhotra, who was to helm Shuddhi for Dharma Productions, announced that Shuddhi had been shelved.
In 2017, rumours surfaced about Sanjay Leela Bhansali calling Amish Tripathi and showing an interest in the same Immortals of Meluha. Later, Ajay Devgn also had some closed-door talks on the same, say sources.
