Why Kangana Ranaut picked Shahid, Saif over Salman Khan

Kangana Ranaut's acting career was going through a lean phase till Vikas Bahl signed her for 'Queen'.

The movie did for her what 'The Dirty Picture' did for Vidya Balan - it made her a queen in Bollywood and she bagged another National Award (India).

Now plum offers are pouring in for Kangana and 'people are actually praying to work with her'.

But that doesn't mean the actress is taking up all that she is offered.

First, she turned down Salman Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' for lack of a meaty role.

Now, she's refused YRF's 'Sultan' with Salman again for a different reason.

Unlike 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', Kangana's role in 'Sultan' was meaty. She was approached to play a female wrestler. Salman himself plays a wrestler in the flick.

Kangana is not interested. Reason? She can't turn down the Vishal Bhardwaj film 'Rangoon' which also stars Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.

'Sultan's' dates are clashing with 'Rangoon' and she is already committed to working with Bhardwaj.

So, mainly because of date issues Kangana chose Shahid and Saif over Salman.
