Hrithik, Priyanka in Agneepath remake

Finally, filmmaker Karan Johar has zeroed upon the star cast of the highly acclaimed film of his father Yash Johar. For a long time, he was unable to decide upon the stars for the superhit film of 1990 ‘Agneepath’ remake but at last he has decided. Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra will play the lead roles.

A source at Dharma Production says, "Priyanka and Hrithik will be coming together on-screen after KRISSH. While Hrithik will be playing Amitabh Bachchan's role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, Priyanka will play the role of a nurse, and girlfriend that was played by Madhavi in the original. Both complement each other on screen."

"Minor changes will be made in the script, making it modern while keeping the plot more or less the same. However, the dialogue penned by Kader Khan will remain unchanged. The character played by Mithun Chakraborty has been totally done away with in the remake," adds the source.

The new ‘Agneepath’ will be highly inspired from SCARFACE. After ‘Krrish’, this would be Hrithik and Priyanka's second film together.
