A birdie from Karan Johar's production house called to tell us, "Sanju Baba hasn't replaced Rishi Kapoor in Karan Johar's remake of Agneepath.

Rishi is very much there. Sanjay Dutt plays the main villain Kancha Cheena (essayed by Danny Denzongpa in the original) while Rishi is playing Haji -- a grey character specially conceived by director Karan Malhotra.

Hrithik Roshan looks up to Haji and wants to become like him. While Sanju is an out-and-out ruthless villain in the remake, Rishi's character is grey. "
