Shuddh Desi Romance actor Sushant Singh Rajput is going places. One of those happens to be Hiritik's position in Ashutosh Gowarikar's next. That's not all. Bollywood's newest serial kisser has also bagged the lead role in Fitoor opposite Katrina Kaif.

Sushant has taken the place of Hrithik Roshan, who was the first choice for director Ashutosh Gowarikar after Jodha Akbar. This film too is a period romance, based in the times of the historical Mohenjodaro. A Hollywood actress will reportedly be roped in to play the female lead.

Continuing the momentum is Fitoor, which is based on one of Charles Dicken's classics 'The Great Expectations'. Sushant and Katrina will be seen for the first time together in Fitoor. Director Abhishek Kapoor is very excited about this pairing, not to mention the script. He says that both actors are also quite excited and that shooting will begin early 2014.

Kai Po Che has started the momentum and Sushant Singh is still rolling with it. He has even signed Shekhar Kapur's 'Paani', throwing in pretty great projects in his full kitty.
