No Sanjay Dutt in Sultan, new face to be signed as female lead

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.

  • gosh.. haha.. what a paradox statement. sanjay dutt was signed as a female lead it seems.. confusing sentence lol ..

  • Hahahaa, those who are on twitter,check diz out.
    First, being humor started trending #SRKturns74 and #NationalLabourday on his birthday.
    Now today, when SRK-Salman met, SRKians started trending #BaadhshahMeetsBodyGaurd

    Now, currently Salmaniacs are trending #BakriMeetsTiger and #LabourManSRKmeetsEmperorSalman. ?

    It was SRK fans who first started this, sabse ghatiya fanbase ever. I am with tweelebs who are trolling SRK fanbase today.

  • The film has everything going in its favour with Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya returning to the big screen 16 years after Hum Saath Saath Hai. The trailer of the film has managed to achieve the desired response and with Salman Khan returning after a blockbuster like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the film is expected to open huge at the Box-Office.

    Speaking about the same, Trade Analyst Komal Nahta says,

    “I think Prem Ratan Dhan Payo will end the dry spell for Fox Star Studios as Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya have a 100 per cent track record and they are one of the most formidable teams. There is no reason to believe that the film will not do well at the Box-Office.

    The trailer has been loved immensely. My expectations from the performance of the film at the Box-Office are sky high and I am confident that it will do more than Happy New Year on its opening day.”
    Prem Ratan Dhan Payo a Hit?

    The distributor of Mumbai Circuit, Rajesh Thadani says,

    “Yes, I am pretty hopeful and definitely the dry run will end for Fox Star with Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. I am sure that the film will create new records and will probably be the highest grosser of the year and set benchmarks.”

    Leading Distributor/Exhibitor Harsh Jain, Sanman Group says

    “I think Prem Ratan Dhan Payo will break the myth that films produced by Fox Star Studios don’t work at the Box Office. I think Prem Ratan Dhan Payo will start breaking all the records from the first day itself. I predict a bumper opening for the film and I can see it run in the theatres for at least 4 weeks. I think the film will open above 40 crores and no one can predict how much the film will earn in its lifetime run.”

    Leading Exhibitor, Prashant Solanki, Cine Park Valsad says,

    “With a solo release and that too on Diwali, I have high hopes from PRDP and expecting a business of over Rs 300 crore.”

  • Salman and katrina or
    Salman and karrena

    PERFECT…………………………

    Har Young ladki Sonakshi jaisi bhabi type nhi hoti jo bhaijaan ko suit ho isliye newcomer se Senior hi better hai…….FACT

  • Whoever you cast, the movie will sink without a trace against Raees. This is going to be the most risky bet for YRF.

  • Sultan will be a blockbuster. It will beat Raees at box office.
    Salman will truely shatter some box office records.
    EID biz is always humungous when salman comes at that date.
    Hope , he signs Kriti Sanon or Shraddha kapoor.

  • HUHUHU..

    No heroine wants to work with Bhai.

    Only Shera can save Bhai’s career now by playing the female lead.

  • @xzone…..sultan will sink without a trace….hmmmm good joke…first think about dilwale man…from last 8 years ghanta kuch bigaad saka wo salman ka….

  • I would prefer PC to be the female lead,am expecting this film to be really huge since Salman is putting alot of effort for it.

  • Lol at the comments of @sss and @ultron. Wat happened to them? ? Hv their aatmas got exchanged. Ye kya hora hai

  • Some Emraan haters are here to annoy other users by posting ” Waiting For Azhar ” .Their agenda is to make people hate the film by making them annoyed. Indicine take action

  • @idiotzone:
    Varunwale and queen will sink against Bajirao mastani. Then Bhai will do JANAJA of his sinking career with SULTAN…

  • @xzone : Are you on weed ? Sinking without a trace ?? Keep living in 2006 and Jaaneman days, the more you believe in PAST the more it will hurt you in PRESENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    EID 2016 :
    ***********

    SULTAN vs Baniye ki kanjossi aur (chaddi) Baniyan ki Daring !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Too much fun !!!!!!!!!!

  • Sultan will open better than Raees in North India, Central India, Mumbai circuit including Gujarat, Orissa, Assam, Telengana n Andhra, whereas, Raees wil hav upper hand in West Bengal, Mysore, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Content wil b d back bone of dis epic battle. Raees, looking by d promos is dark action film, whch wil effect d lifetime business of Raees, yet hope for gr8 entertainment on EID 2016 from both d films.

  • Cant get more excited than this. Waiting eagerly for sultan. It will surely be 2nd highest grosser only behind dangal. Raees and fan will earn less than mohenjo daro.

  • No matter who is the cast for the actress is, it should be a beautiful and charming face, unlike Daisy Shah. Thats what audiences expect from Salman bhai film.
    If SRK can launch a new comer from Pskistan, why cant Salman do this?

    After all, every Sultan is Raees but not every Raees is Sultan. Sultan equals to many top Raees.

    @Gorillazone, what an idiot you are! first think how paanwaale wont sink without a trace at BO. And then, the rejected made-in-China Table FAN and Gujarati Wine Seller and Prostitute Agent Bikhaari!

  • @DEADPOOL, Rahul Dholakia is the FLOP director. At least, Ali Abbas Zafar knows how to give HITs even with newcomers..

  • salman will not take Pakistani actress like srk did for rice… someone told very true tan India me aur man Pakistan me
