The shooting of Hrithik Roshan’s upcoming movies ‘Shuddhi’ and ‘Bang Bang’ will have to be postponed as lead actor Hrithik Roshan has taken some time off to recover from his persistent headaches.

“Before I get ready to resume the shooting of my next, ‘Bang Bang’ (directed by Anand), in early January 2014 and later ‘Shuddhi’ (directed by Malhotra) — I will be taking some time off to recover completely from the recurring headaches that have resurfaced in the last couple of weeks. Both films are physically demanding and I am confident that your love and prayers will heal me completely,” said Hrithik Roshan to a leading daily.

‘Shuddhi’ will be directed by Karan Malhotra, who made his directorial debut with ‘Agneepath’, and will be produced by Karan Johar. The movie will star Hrithik Roshan as the male lead and Kareena Kapoor as the female lead. Pankaj Kapoor also plays a pivotal role in the movie. The movie will release on Diwali of 2014.

‘Bang Bang’, an official remake of ‘Knight and Day’, is directed by Siddharth Anand. The movie stars Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif.
