I had the finest experience an actor can have working with Karan in Agneepath and I'm sure both my dear Karans (Malhotra and Johar) are going to go beyond with this one! Shuddhi remains a part of me in spirit and I am sure it will be a landmark in our cinema. I wish them all the best!” 

Karan also wants to profit on Deepika and Ranveer's sizzling chemistry. Shuddhi which is based on the concept of re-birth will be directed by Karan Malhotra.
