Earlier there were reports that Anushka Sharma will play the lead opposite Salman but a source close to the development said, "There were reports recently that Anushka Sharma had been signed as the leading lady opposite Salman. But that rumor was denied by the actress' spokesperson."
The source added, "Sooraj has gone through a list of actresses and selected Ileana and Parineeti as the final two. He is currently abroad scouting for locations for his Salman-starrer. When he returns, he will meet the two girls again and have script-reading sessions with them in Hindi, after which it will be decided which will be the lucky girl to be cast opposite Salman."
Salman has worked with the director in the blockbuster film, Hum Saath Saath Hain and when Barjatya came forward with a script, Sallu already had the sequel of No Entry in line. But the actor postponed the sequel and decided to shoot for Barjatya's flick after completing his upcoming ventures.
Sooraj's direction will hit the floors in October.
