Parineeti Chopra may be all set for her big screen comeback after a dramatic weight loss with Meri Pyaari Bindu opposite Ayushmann Khurrana, but we hear, the actress is keen to bag projects with A-list stars, especially Salman Khan.

Says a source, “Parineeti wishes to work with Sallu. In fact, she has been trying to catch up with him to work out the possibility of a film together. However, as of now, nothing has materialised because the actor has been working round the clock, completing his film commitments.” Last year, there was buzz that Parineeti might feature alongside Salman in Sultan but the project went to Anushka Sharma.

That time, it was being said that the actor was not in favour of casting the actress as he felt she wouldn’t suit the role. Parineeti had later denied the speculations, clarifying that she was never offered the film.

Parineeti’s spokesperson denied the news and said, “Parineeti would love to work with him, but this (sending feelers for a role) is not true.”
