After Karan Johar decided to remake the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Agneepath, the director has gone and replaced his original choice Hrithik Roshan who was to play Big B for AB Junior instead!
Abhishek Bachchan will now play the iconic Vijay Dinanath Chauhan played by Amitabh Bachchan for which the latter even won a National Award. The film was a cult classic and Agneepath was most defining role in the nineties of Big B's angry young man image. Abhishek who had always been vocal about his dream of portraying the character of Chauhan had his prayers answered when Karan offered him the role.
