Why Karan Johar signed Varun Dhawan instead of Salman Khan for ‘Shhuddhi’

Mumbai: Many who were looking forward to see Salman Khan in a Karan Johar film, were left disappointed when the producer-director announced the final star cast of his ambitious film- ‘Shhuddhi’ - recently.

A few months back, Karan had made a big announcement on the micro-blogging site and had stated that Salman would do ‘Shhuddhi’. This news made headlines and the film turned out to be one of the most anticipated projects.

However, now that a much younger Varun Dhawan has replaced the industry heavyweight, speculations are rife about the reasons for the ‘Dabangg’ star’s exit from the project.

Reports suggest that during an event in Dubai, Salman displayed his wit as always and reportedly said that the film’s budget was going beyond reach with him on board and hence Karan had to opt for the younger hero.

Now, though we don’t know the exact reason why Salman chose not to do ‘Shhuddhi’, we hope all is well between the superstar and KJo.
