Anushka Sharma quashes rumours of starring in Salman Khan's 'Sultan'

NH 10 actress Anushka Sharma has denied reports that she will star opposite superstar Salman Khan in the upcoming sports drama Sultan. 

The Yash Raj movie has been in news for quite some time due to its suspense over the casting of its leading lady. Names like Parineeti Chopra, Kriti Sanon, Kangana Ranaut and Deepika Padukone besides Anushka were rumoured to have been approached for the film.

Anushka, 27, who is currently shooting in London for Karan Johar's directorial venture Ae Dil Hai Mushkil opposite Ranbir Kapoor, shot down the rumours in a Twitter post.
