Kangana Ranaut chooses Shahid, Saif over Salman Khan

Kangana Ranaut's acting career was going through a lean phase till Vikas Bahl signed her for 'Queen'.

The movie did for her what 'The Dirty Picture' did for Vidya Balan - it made her a queen in Bollywood and she bagged another National Award (India).

Now plum offers are pouring in for Kangana and 'people are actually praying to work with her'.

But that doesn't mean the actress is taking up all that she is offered.

First, she turned down Salman Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' for lack of a meaty role.

Now, she's refused YRF's 'Sultan' with Salman again for a different reason.

Unlike 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', Kangana's role in 'Sultan' was meaty. She was approached to play a female wrestler. Salman himself plays a wrestler in the flick.

Kangana is not interested. Reason? She can't turn down the Vishal Bhardwaj film 'Rangoon' which also stars Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.

'Sultan's' dates are clashing with 'Rangoon' and she is already committed to working with Bhardwaj.

So, mainly because of date issues Kangana chose Shahid and Saif over Salman.

Salman Khan says no to 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns' director?

After the box-office success of Aanand L Rai's 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns', 'Ranjhannaa' and 'Tanu Weds Manu', there are very few actors or actresses, who would have had the guts to show the director the door. But if the rumour mills are to be believed, Salman Khan has actually said a clear no to him.

So, what issue did Salman have with the script that Aanand had penned especially for him? 

Again, according to certain sections of the Indian media, the macho actor refused as he was offered the role of an unlikely hero in the form of a dwarf. Salman was clearly not interested.

Going by Aanand's previous films, this film would also have hints of an offbeat story with loads of emotions thrown in. 

The beefy actor has probably become selective about the films that he will be working in ever since his conviction in the hit-and-run case.
