Sonam, Salman in Barjatya’s next film

MUMBAI: Actress Sonam Kapoor is likely to reunite with superstar Salman Khan for Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming film after her debut ‘Saawariya’.
“We are working on the dates... 99 percent we will decide about the leading lady in a day or two. Most likely, it is Sonam who is going to act in the film,” said a source from Rajshree productions.
The makers of the film had apparently approached actress Deepika Padukone for the leading role but things did not materialize due to date issues.
The film is likely to go on floors in June this year.
Salman made a guest appearance as Sonam’s love interest in Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed ‘Saawariya’ which marked the debut of both Sonam and Ranbir Kapoor in 2007.
According to a leading daily, the filmmaker was also quite keen on actor Vidyut Jammwal playing Salman's younger brother in the film. But news has it that Jammwal has declined the offer.
He's reportedly keeping those dates free for other directors who've promised him lead roles in their films. Rajkumar Santoshi could quite possibly be one of them.
So, this means Barjatya, who's planning to begin work by the second half of 2014, will have to look elsewhere.
