Remake of 1990 Agneepath – who’s playing lead? Adhered to an unstoppable buzz about Hrithik and Abhishek Bachchan enacting lead roles, Karan Johar finally gets into the picture denying the rumors.

According to Karan Johar, he clearly states that nothing has been confirmed on the part of lead role enacted by legend Amitabh Bachchan in yesteryear version. At the moment, he says that his close associate Karan Malhotra hasn’t yet completed penning the screenplay. Totting up on his non-involvement in behind-the-lens for this remake, the auteur lets his tongue on Karan Malhotra wielding megaphone.

Karan Johar produces this film under his banner of Dharma Productions. Karan Malhotra has worked as assistant for Ashutosh Gowariker on ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, Farah Khan on ‘Main Hoon Na’, Farhan Akhtar on ‘Lakshya’ and Raj Kumar Santoshi’s ‘Lajja’ and ‘Pukar’ amongst others.
