MUMBAI: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan says he was ‘thrown out of’ Karan Johar’s production Shuddhi.

Earlier, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor Khan were supposed to star in the movie, but later Khan was roped in.

Actor Varun Dhawan has now been locked in place of the Dabangg star.

The actor talked about Shuddhi after launching the trailer of his film Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which also stars Kapoor, on June 18.

“I was thrown out of the film. Why are you out of the film?” Khan said while questioning Kapoor about her reason for not doing Shuddhi.

“I agreed because Hrithik was in the film. And eventually he didn’t do the film,” said Kapoor.

The 49-year-old actor also noted that Kapoor had already opted out of the film when he agreed to do the film.

Shuddhi, being helmed by Karan Malhotra, also stars Alia Bhatt.

Meanwhile, Khan is also gearing up for Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
