Looks like the Barfi! beauty, Ileana D’Cruz is on every directors wishlist. The actress who is busy with her upcoming flick Phata Poster Nikla Hero, opposite Shahid Kapoor, has bagged yet another project with none other than the blockbuster Khan, Salman.
Yes! She is all set to play the leading lady opposite Salman Khan in director Sooraj Barjatya’s next film.
Not very long ago, Ileana had expressed her desire to work with the Khans, and so soon she has already bagged one film with the superstar.
“Yes, I will be seen opposite Salman Khan in Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming film. He (Barjatya) is directing this film eight years after Vivah, and I am glad that he’s cast me opposite Salman,” Ileana tells a Hindi newspaper.
It is not known to many that Ileana was Prabhu Deva’s first choice for the 2009 film ‘Wanted’, which starred Salman Khan as the hero. The actress was not very comfortable with Bollywood films back then and so she turned the offer down.
The movie will reportedly be a family entertainer and will have Salman in a double role.
Sooraj Barjatya and Salman Khan have worked together earlier too, making this their fourth project.
