Barsaat (1949): Released in 1949, the film starred the already oh-so-popular Bollywood onscreen couple - Raj Kapoor and Nargis. Actress Nimmi was launched in the film industry with this film. Barsaat is referred to as the one of the first key successful films which Raj had directed. Such was the success of the film that it enabled Kapoor to purchase RK Studios in 1950.

Hrithik Roshan has been roped in to play Lord Shiva in the screen adaptation of 'Immortals of Meluha'. However, the director is still in two minds to rope in an actress for Sati's role in 'Shuddhi'. No matter what Karan Johar decides, we bring to you our very own wishlist of the actors who should play the characters of this book. Deepika Padukone would be able to do justice to the role of Sati. The character is not just about good looks but Sati is a warrior who fights the Nagas along with Shiva. And on the other hand, Sati is also a good dancer. So, Deepika would be a good combination of the both. John Abraham can fit into the shoes of Shiva's close friend Veerbhadra who is also the captain of Shiva's army. Known to be a brave soul, he can take on anyone who can cause Shiva harm. With a good body, John Abraham fits the bill.
