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 of Agneepath.Amitabh Bachchan is such an iconic figure, that any young actor would bid to play his role.
Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan will now play Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in the remake of Agneepath. Hrithik was so excited to step into Amitabh’s shoes that he put on hold Vishal Bharadwaj’s film, which he was initially keen to star in.
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.”
Agneepath will be directed by Karan Malhotra who has been associated with Karan Johar for a long time.
