Salman Khans selection for Yash Raj Films' Sultancreated a lot of murmur. The actor in the role of a wrestler is something we have never seen before. That gave rise to speculations that it is based on real life accounts. Next, the date of release made it even more interesting as next Eid it will clash with Shah Rukh Khans Raees. Salman had gone on record to say that whenever they have clashed at the box office, SRK has always won. But never say never. Post that the fact that it could be similar to Aamir Khan's Dangal also made the rounds which were squashed by the latter. However, in all this milieu, one issue persisted. Who will play the lead opposite Salman Khan in the film? Many names did the rounds among which wasParineeti Chopra. But Salman didn't want the actress in it and we know why!
Anushka Sharma, Vaani Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Parineeti were in the running to play the female lead inSultan. But as we told you before, the NH10 babe crashed out of the list after a fallout with Aditya Chopra. We don't know what actually happened there, but it seems things are pretty tense between the two. We were also the first ones to tell you how Salman wants a newcomer in Sultan and that's exactly why Parineeti lost out here. According to our sources, theBajrangi Bhaijaan actor feels the actress has been seen on screen too often and thus there is no novelty left. He wants a fresh face opposite him. He is of the opinion that Parineeti doesn't fit the character.
