After her powerhouse performances in films like Queen, Tanu Weds Manu (and its sequel) etc., Kangana Ranaut is among B-town’s most-sought-after actresses indeed. We can now tell you that she was approached for Sultan (Salman Khan’s next) as well, but had to decline due to date issues.
Our sources report that Aditya Chopra and Salman were both very keen on roping in Kangana, and that there was a meeting between the actress and Adi regarding the film. There was even a script narration with director Ali Abbas Zafar. However, Kangana had already committed her dates to Vishal Bhardwaj’s Rangoon.
“The only reason why Kangana couldn’t be part of Sultan was due to an issue with the dates. She had given the same dates for Rangoon,” our source said.
Had Kangana featured in Sultan, this would have been her first film with one of the Khan superstars. Incidentally, all three Khans — Aamir, Shah Rukh, and Salman — have expressed their interest to work with the actress. “Kangana is also keen on working with the Khans, but let’s see when that collaboration happens,” our source said.
