There were reports that Sanjay Dutt will be playing a prominent role in Salman Khan's Sultan, but sources close to the film have confirmed that the news is not true. The role that Dutt was rumoured to play was of Salman's mentor.

A source said "Salman never indicated that he wanted Sanjay Dutt to be in the film. There is no question of signing Sanjay Dutt

or anyone else until the leading lady is in place. For the film's leading lady, a new face will be in place in the next two weeks"

The source also added "After that there are two important male characters to be cast. One of them would be that of Salman's mentor. But no Sanjay Dutt. Isn't he in prison? Salman will be launching a new girl. He already has someone in mind and has spoken to producer Adi Chopra and director Ali Abbas Zafar about it."

Sultan has Salman Khan playing a professional wrestler. The film will be releasing with Shah Rukh Khan's Raees during Eid next year.

Deepika Padukone, Parineeti Chopra, Kriti Sanon were all rumoured to play Salman's love interest in the film. Unfortunately, none of it is true. Salman is set to give the industry yet another new female face

Yuck a new leading ladylike daisy

If it was a known actress it would have been announced by now
