As we all know that Hrithik Roshan is having lead role in the remake of Agneepath, directed by Karan Johar. But do you who is paired with Hrithik in this movie? Initially Kareena Kapoor was the choice of Karan Johar for the lead role but unfortunately she lost the chance and her place has been taken by Priyanka Chopra.

What’s the reason that made Karan to change his choice? Actually the reason was Hrithik’s wife Susanne, who was not comfortable with the two working together after they were linked to each other in the past.

“Karan was very excited to cast Hrithik and Kareena together but Susanne put her foot down, Kareena was very upset about all this but when Karan explained her whole situation she tried to console herself”, source said.

This is not the first time that Kareena has replaced by Priyanka. In Dostana when Karan tried to take Kareena before Priyanka, Abhishek reluctance made her to stay out of the movie.

Kareena was also approached by Madhur Bhandarkar for Fashion but she unfortunately let it slide by and Priyanka immediately snapped it up. She later won a National award for it.

Both the movies Dostana and Fashion established Priyanka’s image in top actress and same is expecting for Agneepath that it will make her position more stronger.

Abhishek Bachan is quite certain that it is quite complicated and challenging to match the performance of his father Big B, Amitabh Bachan in the remake of Agneepath, but he wants to give good wishes to Hrithik Roshan who is playing the role of the Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in the remake of Agneepath, who blessed Amithabh his first National Award in 1990.

“I wish him good luck. I think it’s a very brave thing to do. If you think of top 10 characters of Hindi cinema, Vijay Dinanath Chauhan is up there. It’s difficult but I have immense respect for Duggu (Hrithik) as an actor,” Abhishek said.

According to Abhi, Big B;s film shouldn’t remake since it cause great pressure to new actor. Moreover Abhishek clarified this that he was never asked for the role before Hrithik.

Hope this Ageepath, directed by Karan Johar, will beat the record like the old one, directed by Yash Johar.
