It is proving to be a tough call for Karan Johar as he continues the search to find the cast for his re-make of super hit Agneepath. The trouble started when the lead role of the gangster Vijay Dinanath Chavan played by Amitabh Bachchan was declined by Hrithik Roshan. Now it is a search for Krishnan Iyer, the supporting role, which was played by Mithun Chakraborty.
It is more or less decided that Ritesh Deshmukh will play the supporting role in the film. Also, with Hrithik out of the way, the chances that Abhishek will play the role are pretty high as of now. Both Abhishek and Ritesh shared a good chemistry in Bluffmaster which is very important to imitate the kind of chemistry that Amitabh and Mithun shared in the movie.
Besides these two roles, the cast who would play Madhavi and Neelam is also not decided along with a dilemma on whether the role of the villain Kancha Cheena originally played by Danny would go to Vivek Oberoi or Irrfan Khan.
Both Amitabh and Mithun had won the Filmfare awards for their roles in the movie. Looks like keeping up to this standard is hard work for Karan!!
