Anushka Sharma vs Sonakshi Sinha for Saif Ali Khan's next

Mumbai: Word is that Milan Luthria is looking out for his next heroine to cast opposite Saif Ali Khan in their upcoming film. Apparently Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Sharma are in the running to clinch the role.

Word is that before the two ladies were shortlisted, buzz was that a lot of names were considered for the film. Milan states, "Frankly I’m very flattered, it’s my first production and a very important film. All I can say at this point is wait and watch."

The co-producer of the film Bhushan Kumar was however far more forthcoming to spill the beans. He says, "The battle has come down to Anushka and Sonakshi. We will decide soon who will be in the film, as we want to start shooting early next year."
