There are reliable reports coming in that Yash Raj Films’ has signed Anushka Sharma to play the female lead opposite Salman Khan in Sultan.
The official announcement is expected to be made soon.
If true, it would be a fresh pairing, because Salman Khan has never shared screen space with Anushka Sharma. It would be one of the biggest films of Anushka’s career too, after Rajkumar Hirani’s PK.
Update: It’s official.

IT WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED.. ANUSHKA EVEN DENIED 2-3 WEEKS AGO.. TOTALLY SHOCKED.. BUT AMAZING PAIRING… TOTALLY FRESH.. AND AFTER NH10 I HAVE GOOD FAITH IN ANU…
SO NOW WITHOUT A DOUBT SULTAN IS “THE” BIGGEST MOVIE OF 2016
Yes Good Choice. Anushka is good actress and looks cute with Salman.
#Sultan
So srk again clashing with a heroine who had made a blockbuster debut with him
Lol
congrats for the biggest opener of 2016 ANUSHKA !
Nice & Fresh Pairing…good choice!! All The Best 2 Sultan!!
Love this pair no question mark its official congrts Anushka
Raees will be movie is best critically film after Airlift , Rustom & Mohenjo Daro . Don’t waste money on Sultan .
Now implying bhai fans logic:
If sultan collects 250/300 crores:
The movie worked because of anushka and yrf
Bhai’s highest grosser without anushka and yrf:230 crores
Anushka’s highest grosser without bhai and yrf:340 crores
but i don’t think there is big role for heroene in sultan. her role will like kareena in bb.
Hritik and Salman fall in 40 cr opening
Shah Rukh Ajay Aamir 30 cr opening
Ranbir Akshay Ranveer 20 cr opening
Bahubaali 2 hindi will open very large if solo expect 15-20 crs
Anushka with Salman first time will we see waiting for sultaan
Movie without a Script! Koi Doubt Mat Rakhna!
@Arjun Actresses having debuted with srk are working with big stars whereas those who debuted with bhai are working in hate story 3 or have packed their bags and left the industry
I don’t think SULTAN will be ready on time..
& If they rush so much then its quality will be affected.
Ab ar bhi jada maza aega ….
Too much fun…
@challa ji.. Bhai’s Higest grosser with out yrf is 320 Cr :D Bajrangi Bhaijaan.. Produced by SKF.. Unlike others SULTAN OF BWOOD IS NOT DEPENDAT ON ANYTHING.. EVEN WITHOUT ANUSHKA THIS MOVIE WOULD HAVE BEEN BB/ATBB.. SHE DOESN’T MATTER ..
Sultan will be the biggest disaster of the decades !!!!
Marigold 2 is coming !!!!!
I had no excitement for sultan till i heard anu is the heroine of the movie. Smart move by bhai to take on srk. Currently in sultan vs raees clash Sultan is looking like Dilwale and raees looking Like Bajirao.
@chhalla : Yes you are right
Bajrangi bhaijaan collected 320 crs in mannat,that is why u arent including it .
I get your point
Best choice.
Srk’s girl wd all khan!!
Grt news
Hope she has a very small role coz her lips are irritating and can actually negatively affect the film.
Bad choice. A fresh debut girl should have been introduced.
@rangil @beingaban
Forgot to mention that but still BB collected less than Pk both in India and worldwide.So anushka need to credited for the movies success
I think YRF will use FAN to reserve screen for SULTAN..
YRF will use SRK to compete against SRK !!
Wow great news super excited
All best Sultan bhai
This EID it’s only Salman Sultan
Grt.. fresh pair…Hope it gets max screens and get biggest opening ever …best wishes
anuskha will get min screen space like Katrina and kareena who played their part in dhoom 3 and bb
all the leading actress might be denying for sultan due to low importance for the heroine.As anushka has good relationship with yrf .She had to take the offer.
Desperate times for Anushka. She knew she had a disastrous ADHM for release in 2016.. So she signed Sultan.
@indicine what you say that anushka and deepika were launched by srk or yrf and same for Salman Khan the actors actress launched by Bhai or other
Jiyo …mazaa ayegaa…SULTAN
LETS JUST FAST FORWARD TO EID NOW ONLY
BW KABIR KHAN WAS ON D SETS OF SULTAN TO OVERSEE D ACTION SEQUENCES ….I HOPE BOTH KK AND SK DISCUSSED SM PROJECT TO DO IN FUTURE…let’s not get ahead of ourselves though..for now only…SULTAN
@Challa : Gone mental or what ? Dont take Dilwale’s failure to heart dude. The same $hitty logic proves your queen’s Highest Grosser without Deepika will be 150 crs max. Salman at least have above 200 crs grosser. About heroines, remember Deepa Sahi, Gayatri Joshi ? At least Daisy and Zarine got some offers poor Gayatri left just after one movie. Thats mean SRK is bigger panvati than Salman applying your logic. Get well soon !!!!!!!
