Sushant Singh Rajput, who made waves with his role as Manav Deshmukh in hit TV serial 'Pavitra Rishta' seems to be the next big thing in Bollywood. Having successfully made a transition from television to films with Abhishek Kapoor's 'Kai Po Che' earlier this year, the newcomer seems to have charmed his way into many big projects.

There were rumours that the new lad has replaced Hrithik in the film. The actor also recently made headlines with news of his pairing up with Katrina Kaif in Abhishek Kapoor's 'Fitoor'. The film is said to be an adaptation of Charles Dicken's classics 'The Great Expectations'. According to reports, Sushant has also replaced Hrithik Roshan in Ashutosh Gowariker's period drama based on Mohenjodaro, which will also be a love story. This will be the second film in which Sushant Singh Rajput has 'replaced' Hrithik Roshan. If one Yash Raj film wasn't enough, Sushant Singh Rajput will have two to his name.
