Two of the most hottest stars from Bollywood are gearing up for the first time to star in a movie together. If reports are true, after the release of Bajirao Mastani, Deepika Padukone is going to team up with Salman Khan for Ali Abbas Zafar's action drama film, Sultan.

It is not the first time that Padukone has been offered a chance to star with Khan. She was the first choice to star with him in the recently released Sooraj Barjatya family drama film, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and in Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick. According to Bollywood Hungama, Padukone said no to both of the projects due to date issues but later she confessed that she did not like her role in either of the projects.

Now the media has reported that she may have finally agreed to star along with Khan in Sultan. According to Asian Age, there were reports that the film will have two leading ladies but refuting the rumors, a source close to the film project says that there is only one heroine in the film and she has a spirited and sassy character.

"Deepika is most likely to play the role," confirms the source.

Meanwhile, the 50-year-old actor is riding high with the success of his recently released Prem Ratan Dhan Payo which earned 30 million dollars in just 9 days, IBN Live reported. Khan will soon start shooting for Sultan in which he will be playing a 40-year-old wrestler, a role that he has undergone a strict physical regime to play. According to Bollywood Life, the actor is being trained in mixed martial arts by Hollywood action director, Larnell Stovall.

"The film's first schedule begins on November 21 and Salman will begin shoot without a heroine. The makers haven't decided the female lead. Aditya Chopra has been rejecting all the girls who auditioned for the film. Especially the newcomers. The unit is quite stressed because of this and have now decided to begin shooting Salman's scenes," Bollywood Life reported.

Padukone will soon be seen in Bajirao Mastani's epic period drama film Bajirao Mastani along with her real life boyfriend, Ranveer Singh and Quantico star, Priyanka Chopra.
