A source closely connected to Dabangg 3 says Sonakshi Sinha is “most definitely not doing the film, as Salman and Arbaaz are not keen to cast her again.”

What exactly has Sona done to burn the bridges between her and the Khans? Says the source, “She turned down Arbaaz’s production Dolly Ki Doli directed by Abhishek Dogra. It was first offered to her. When she said no, Salman personally intervened. Never in his wildest dreams, did he imagine that Sonakshi would say no to him. After all, Salman had launched her and made her into a star.”

After Sonakshi refused, Dolly Ki Doli, things have not been the same between the Khans and her, although she has tried hard. Sonam Kapoor who grabbed the role not only gained recognition for the part, she also endeared herself to Salman who then gave the nod to cast her in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.

As for Sonakshi,“She gives the impression that all is well with Salman and his family. But that’s not the case. Sonakshi has burnt her bridges with Salman. He doesn’t forget or forgive easily,” says the source.
