Exclusive: Ali Abbas Zafar wants Parineeti, Aditya Chopra wants a new girl for Sultan

Will Sultan star Parineeti or will we see a new face opposite Salman?

Mumbai: Many names have been speculated about the leading lady of YRF’s ambitious project Sultan to be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. After all, it is Salman’s heroine we are talking about here. Kriti Sanon, whose name, had popped up as the heroine of the film has denied the news that she would be a part of the film. However, there are reports that she was indeed approached for this film.

Now, coming to the leading lady: There is a discussion going on within the huge walls of YRF as to who will be the leading lady. The debate is that Ali, the director, wants Parineeti Chopra. However, Aditya Chopra is keen to launch a new girl with this project. After all, Adi introduced Anushka Shamra in the industry, who is now one of the top heroines we have in the industry. So introducing new talent is something he hasn’t gone wrong with.

In fact, recently, Shanoo Sharma, the casting director for YRF, had posted a requirement on her FB page.

It read :

CASTING CALL, YRF is looking for their next LEAD GIRL.

AGE: 20-25

Though it cannot be attributed that the requirement is for ‘Sultan,’ because YRF has many projects in the pipeline, which are yet to be announced.

The girls name will be unveiled at the earliest after going through several auditions if it’s a new girl. But if Parineeti Chopra has her way, Sultan could be just the film that will boost her career.

According to reports, the leading lady of the film also plays a wrestler. Salman will start shooting for this film from November and has already started training for it with fight choreographer Larnell Stovall. To look like a wrestler, Salman Khan will also beef up for the role.
