On the other hand, Ali Abbas Zafar (of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and Gunday fame) who will wield the megaphone for Sultan is a bit skeptical if Parineeti fits the bill. A final decision is expected in the next couple of days, but Parineeti is smiling from ear to ear. Sources close to the film reveal that Parineeti's inclusion in the film is now a mere formality. Well, we welcome the return of this talented actress who warmed our hearts in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, Ishaqzade and Hasee Toh Phasee (before she started being repetitive with her choice of roles and struck a rough patch).
And let's raise a toast to Priyanka's supreme sacrifice. For years now, we know, she has been wanting to give her right arm to work with Salman again. And why wasn't it happening? For those who've come in late, Bhai didn't want it! He was mighty miffed with his Mujhse Shaadi Karogi co-star for turning down his brother Sohail's offer to star in Main aur Mrs Khanna (2009). In his inimitable style he continued to ignore her for the longest time until she worked her way into his good books after befriending his lil' sister Arpita.
When contacted, YRF did not deny the story but simply said that 'we should wait for an official announcement'.
Anyway, bahen ho to Priyanka jaisi!
