Salman Khan's upcoming film, Sultan, has finally got a leading lady.
Anushka Sharma has been roped in as to play the lead opposite Salman Khan's Sultan in the film on wrestling.

On Friday (January 8) evening, the official handle of Sultan tweeted the news:

In Sultan, Salman plays the eponymous role. In order to essay the character of the 40-year-old wrestler from Haryana, Salman Khan has been undergoing strenuous training for quite some time now.
Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Sultan is expected to hit the screens on Eid 2016. Speculations are still rife about the exact release date of the film, thanks to the expected big box-office clash between Salman's Sultan
and
Shah Rukh Khan's Raees.
Earlier, director Ali Abbas Zafar had been quoted as saying that they would announce the lead lady of the film by January-end. And the news comes across as a sweet surprise from the Sultan-makers today.
From Deepika Padukone to Parineeti Chopra, several names had cropped up in the topic. However, Anushka Sharma has finally been confirmed for the role.

While Salman had two films to his credit last year, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Anushka was seen on the big screen thrice in 2015 - NH10, Bombay Velvet and Dil Dhadakne Do.

This is the first time that Salman and Anushka have been paired together. With Sultan, Anushka will have worked with all three Khans of the industry. She had made her Bollywood debut alongside Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, and then teamed up with him for Jab Tak Hai Jaan. In 2014, Anushka was seen opposite
Aamir Khan in PK.

After the huge success of Ek Tha Tiger, Salman Khan and Aditya Chopra teamed up again for yet another big film titled Sultan. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film is a sports drama about a wrestler. Considered to be one of the biggest films of 2016, Salman Khan's Sultan didn't have a leading lady for a long time. A number of established names were being tossed for the film by the media but finally the suspense has ended today.

YRF today announced Anushka Sharma's name as the lead actress of Sultan. This is definitely a huge project for Sharma as she will be featuring opposite Salman Khan for the first time.

Salman Khan starrer Sultan is scheduled to release on Eid 2016 and will clash with Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raees at the box office.
