Remember how Kajol excelled in her villainous act in Gupt? Or Priyanka Chopra in Aitraaz? Now, Ali Abbas Zafar’s leading lady for Sultan will also have shades of grey. Salman Khan plays a wrestler Sultan Ali Khan in the film. The lead heroine will also be a wrestler. Rubbishing speculations of the film being similar to Abhimaan, Ali had also told us that there will be no villains in the film. But now, we hear that Ali has a special surprise in store. “The female lead is a negative character — very, challenging,” revealed our source. But it “won’t be an out-and-out negative character for sure”. Meanwhile, the shooting of Sultan has begun without a leading lady.
