'Agneepath' between 'Ra.One' & 'Don 2'

Karan Johar is filming AGNEEPATH at lightning speed. Without making any
noise whatsoever, in fact. Though director Karan Malhotra began filming
only recently, the film, with Hrithik Roshan reprising Amitabh
Bachchan's role, is already 50% complete. "Another major schedule of the
film in Daman and we will be through with the principal shooting of the
film," Karan informs me.
Meanwhile, there are whispers that Karan has sold the distribution
rights of AGNEEPATH and STUDENT OF THE YEAR to a Hollywood studio for an
astronomical sum. "Not true! In the first place, I don't wish to get
into the co-production deal with anyone for AGNEEPATH. This one's
special; it was produced by my father and I would like Dharma to retain
its rights exclusively," Karan states. What about S.O.T.Y.? "Again, the
news is unfounded. I haven't inked the deal with any studio yet," he
adds.
Karan plans to release AGNEEPATH this year. In fact, like Salman and
SRK, who will have two releases this year, Hrithik too will have two
releases this year, starting with ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA on 8 July,
followed by AGNEEPATH in the final weeks of 2011. "We haven't zeroed on
any date yet, but we should release it between RA.ONE [Diwali] and DON 2 [Christmas]," Karan says.
