‘Varun can never replace Salman’

Karan Johar’s long-delayed Shuddhi is finally moving ahead with Varun <g data-gr-id="12">Dhawan</g> but father David says his son can never be a substitute to Salman Khan, who was earlier supposed to play the lead role.

“He can never replace Salman. He is a great actor and a very big star. Varun is like his younger brother and that’s why he tweeted also. Salman loves him,” David, who worked with the actor in “Partner”, told media. Johar last month confirmed the new cast of his film. Shuddhi first went to Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and Salman before Varun and Alia Bhatt came on board.”
