Salman Khan’s unexpected shoot for ‘Sultan’ to avoid Aishwarya?

Salman Khan’s next ‘Sultan’ is almost fully underway although a leading lady is yet to be cast. However, in order to avoid a possible encounter with ex Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the actor is believed to have headed to shoot for the film on a day that wasn’t scheduled.

The Ambanis hosted a party last night and many familiar faces were seen entering the venue. Khan was also invited but, according to a report in 9xe, he chose not to attend because he knew his ex flame Aishwarya would be present with her husband Abhishek. Instead, Khan headed to Kajrat to shoot for ‘Sultan’.

A source spoke, “Ali (Abbas Zafar, the director) had told Salman earlier that he wanted to shoot a sequence with him on Friday, but Salman had told him that he’d shoot it later. So Ali reworked the schedule and was working on other scenes last night. However, Salman suddenly showed up on the sets at 9.30 and told Ali that he’ll shoot for the sequence. Everyone around was extremely surprised about the sudden turnaround of events”.

Khan is thought to have wrapped the shoot in half an hour.
