With the trend of Salman Khan's movies turning blockbusters and his lead actresses getting more than expected exposure in the media and among the Bollywood audiences, scoring a role opposite the 'Being Human' actor is no less than winning a lottery.

We had earlier reported on how Salman had opted for Sooraj Barjatya's next which would be a family drama, and although, the male lead was finalized, there was no more than just the initial buzz on Anushka Sharma playing the female lead.

Looks like Anushka is out of the running, as the production team is down to picking either Parineeti Chopra, Ileana D'Cruz or Katrina Kaif for the lead opposite the superstar. Kat is not new to Salman, but it would be Parineeti and Ileana's debut role opposite the actor.

So let's see if Salman and Sooraj opt for the 'Ishaqzaade' or 'Barfi' girls or his very own Katrina for his next.
