If the news of the dynamic duo of Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra playing the lead in the remake of yesteryear’s ‘Agneepath’ was not enough, the latest development to this story is the addition of Sanjay Dutt for the iconic role of Kancha Cheena played by Danny Denzongpa in the original version. Earlier, Rishi Kapoor was approached for the bad man’s role. But the veteran actor declined the offer following a skirmish over KJo’s talk show ‘Koffee with Karan’ recently.
Dutt is super excited about his role. However, KJo is not talking about it right now as he plans to make a big announcement soon. Also he doesn`t want Rishi to know right now that he has been replaced as Kapoor is likely to go off on another tirade against him
This remake of Agneepath is to be directed by debutant Karan Malhotra and produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Hrithik and Sanju shared screen space earlier in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Mission Kashmir almost 10 years ago.
