Bollywood actor, Salman Khan, is turning 50 on 27 December. This year the actor has given two blockbuster films â€" "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" and "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" â€" to the audience.

Now, he will be seen in his next film "Sultan" next year.

However, this "Sultan" leading lady guessing game is getting interesting by the day. Earlier, there were Bollywood A-listers contending for the role, but the scenario seems to have changed slightly now.

This time, "Bigg Boss 9" contestant Mandana Karimi and "Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 8" participant Scarlett Wilson's names are doing the rounds.

Also, the recent buzz is Salman has introduced a girl named Naaz to Aditya Chopra, who is speculated to be the leading actress of "Sultan".

Mandana Karimi

This could be a possibility considering how much the "BB9" host favours and defends the Iranian beauty. The housemates of the controversial show have even tagged her "Salman's favourite".

Scarlett Wilson

After Mandana, "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8" contestant Scarlett Wilson's name is being associated with the film. Her interaction with Salman Khan at a popular award show has sparked rumours of the Brit import wanting to land a role in "Sultan".

Naaz

Naaz may be the one to bag the role as she has already auditioned for it, according to 9xe.

There are numerous rumours around Salman's next. From Deepika Padukone to Parineeti Chopra, big names have been attached to the upcoming action-drama.

However, both the actresses have denied reports saying they were never approached for the film. While Parineeti announced it on Twitter, Deepika recently opened up about it.
