Salman Khan suggested Varun’s name as his replacement in Shuddhi

The suspense around Shuddhi - produced by Karan Johar - is finally over. Just last year, Karan Johar had announced on Twitter that Salman Khan will play the lead in Shuddhi. However, Varun has been now locked in place of the Dabangg star. 

Karan Johar took to Twitter on Thursday night to make the announcement on the Karan Malhotra's directorial venture.

According to a report, “Not many are aware that Salman Khan suggested Varun’s name as a possible replacement for him in the film. He is confident that Varun can carry off the challenging part (of the male lead). And both the Karans were more than happy to sign Varun for the film”.

Salman congratulated the ABCD 2 actor with a tweet:

Varun thanked Salman for this gesture and said that he will make him proud.
