There were talks and confusions going on about the proposed remake of Agneepath and whom it was going to star. While there was news that Hrithik Roshan was confirmed for the role as Vijay Dinanath Chauhan which gave Amitabh Bachchan’s career a new lease on stardom, this has now been further confirmed.
A source confirmed the fact that Hrithik will, in fact, be doing the role of the legendary character and will also be putting Vishal Bhardwaj’s next on hold till Agneepath has been done shooting for.
A close hand revealed that Hrithik was in two minds about signing Agneepath and playing the role that made Amitabh so famous. However, after much deliberation, Hrithik has now said yes to the role as he knows the universal appeal of the movie. He is currently shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish. Once this is done, he will start shooting for Agneepath. Vishal Bhardwaj’s movie will be done later, once both these movies are completed.
After Vishal gave Hrithik the go-ahead to do Agneepath first, he has already started working on another movie with a different subject and a different actor. He is very keen on having only Hrithik in the role of his movie, and is ready to wait for Hrithik to complete his earlier commitments.
Hrithik also loved Vishal’s script and wants to do this movie, as well. He will work on Agneepath with Karan Malhotra who has been working with Karan Johar for a very long time. He will be preparing himself to fill the big shoes.
