Having Salman Khan, and in all likelihood Sonam Kapoor, on board for his next film, Sooraj Barjatya is keen to lock the rest of his principal cast at the earliest. The filmmaker, who’s planning to start shooting sometime in the second half of 2014, is said to have offered the role of Salman’s younger brother to Vidyut (Commando) Jammwal. However, the action hero reportedly declined the part. A source attributes it to Vidyut wanting to keep those dates free for a couple of directors he is in talks with for solo-lead projects. One of these makers is Rajkumar Santoshi, or so we hear. We tried contacting Vidyut but he didn’t revert to our text message.
