MUMBAI: Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma's on-screen chemistry in Ali Abbas Zafar's Sultan won hearts and box office numbers. However, the surprise is that Anushka wasn't the first choice for the role.

Salman Khan disclosed that another actress, who has impressed audiences with her stellar performances, was initially considered for the role. During an episode of Bigg Boss 15, Salman revealed, "The original star of Sultan was her. She came to the farm to meet me. Ali had brought her. And that time she didn’t look like a wrestler."

Although Salman initially had doubts, he believed Anushka would excel in the role. He added, "I thought in my mind that she doesn’t look like a wrestler. Well, even Anushka didn’t look like one. But I knew she would do good."
