Be it because of Salman and Sooraj's collaboration after 15 years, the female lead dilemma or Salman's double role, the buzz around the film refuses to die.
While Sonakshi was marked off the list considering their pair has been repeated twice in the
'Dabangg' series, the latest to be ousted from the shortlisted names is Deepika Padukone.
Grapevine has it that Salman isn't too keen on pairing with the much-in-demand Deepika as he feels that she is 'too busy' for the film.
Salman is paying keen attention to this film and hence doesn't want a super busy actress for the same.
While Deepika's name has apparently been ruled out, the confusion over the leading lady is heaping.
Looks like Deepika will have to wait to get her moment of fame with Salman Khan as the two are yet to do a film together.
Nonetheless, another Salman Khan loyalist has been roped in for the film. His find
Himesh Reshammiya has been signed to compose the film's songs. He will be writing the lyrics and create tunes as well.
As for the leading actress, it remains to be seen who finally bags the coveted role.
