Filmmaker Karan Johar launched the teaser of his upcoming movie Agneepath today, a remake of the 1990 Amitabh Bachchan starrer film of the same name.

The film which is directed by newcomer Karan Malhotra stars Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles.

"On my way to the teaser launch Of Agneepath! Will put it up soon," Johar earlier tweeted.

The movie will hit the theatres on January 13.

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt's look in the much-awaited remake of 'Agneepath' was revealed on his 52nd birthday today.

"First Look of Sanjay Dutt in Agneepath! Await your comments," filmmaker Karan Johar said on micro-blogging site twitter.

Johar posted a link of Agneepath's facebook page on twitter, which shows the 'Khalnayak's' shaved head, besides his bulked up physique and tattoos over his arms.

Directed by Johar's former assistant, Karan Malhotra, 'Agneepath', a remake of the 1990 Hindi film is reportedly radically different from the original film.

The original 'Agneepath', directed by Mukul Anand, starred Amitabh, Mithun Chakraborty, Madhavi, Rohini Hattangadi and Danny Denzongpa and was produced by Yash Johar, Karan's late father.

Though Agneepath failed commercially at the box-office, Bachchan's performance was praised. Bachchan and Chakraborty received National award for Best Actor and Filmfare Best Supporting Actor award respectively.

The remake version will see Hrithik reprising Bachchan's iconic role of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan with Priyanka Chopra as the female lead opposite him. The character essayed by Mithun Chakraborty has been totally done away in the remake and the role of the villain played by Danny Denzongpa is being essayed by Dutt.

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor is touted to play another negative character in this remake of Agneepath that is expected to hit cinema halls on January 13, 2012.

It seems Ranbir has been having issues with his on and off relationship rumors, which has been staying in the news for quite sometime now.

Ranbir, who has lately been linked with his ‘Rockstar’ costar Nargis Fakhri after earlier being rumored to be in a relationship with Katrina, is now heard of seeing Anushka Sharma.

However, it’s learnt that the actor is tired of these reports grabbing limelight for the past few months and has stated that what has been written about him aren’t true and he has had enough of it.

“That isn't me that's being written about. I've had enough. I just want to withdraw from the limelight completely for sometime,” stated the ‘Rockstar’ actor.

Rishi and Neetu are angry with Ranbir’s relationship rumors

It’s heard that Ranbir’s parents are quite upset about their son’s image being badly tainted with these continuous link up reports.

Talking about Ranbir’s parents being upset, the actor’s close pal stated, “More than himself Ranbir is embarrassed because of his parents. He can take any kind of flak or rumour. But if his parents get affected, he reacts. And now Ranbir has had enough. He won't take the Casanova image lying down.”

Ranbir not dating Anushka Sharma

Ranbir is quite angry after he has been lately linked up with the ‘Band Baaja Baarat’ actress Anushka Sharma, since it was reported that both of them were seen seated cozily together in the backseat of a car.

Confirming that Ranbir and Anushka’s link up reports isn’t true, his friend stated, "Ranbir was in the front seat with his friend Ayaan Mukherji (Director, Wake Up Sid) Anushka was in the backseat with Ranveer.”

Incidentally, the actor is now speculated to have a soft corner for Nargis and is supposedly seen hanging out with her most of the time. However, when Ranbir’s friend was asked about the actor’s ‘Rockstar’ co-star, he stated that she is nothing more than a co-star to Ranbir.

"Ranbir has never treated Nargis Fakhri as anything more than a co-star. Ranbir goes out with her, yes. But only in a group with his other friends,” stated the actor’s friend.
