Nargis Fakhri opposite Salman in Sooraj Barjatya's next

Apparently, 'Rockstar' actress has been approached to be part of Sooraj Barjatya's upcoming starring Salman Khan

Nargis Fakhri

There have been a lot of speculations who will be the leading lady for quite sometime now.

The source says, "Lot of names were considered. Since the makers are looking for a relatively new face, they thought Nargis is a good choice. But she is yet to give her nod to the filmmaker."

Earlier there were rumours that Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor and Ileana D'Cruz were also offered this role.

But later it turned out that Deepika hadn't even heard the script. "The film is slated to go on floor mid-next year and therefore Sooraj is in no hurry to finalise things.

He is completing pre-production work as of now and will make the announcement about his leading lady soon," sums up the informer. Nargis's spokesperson was unavailable for comment.
