Actress Kangana Ranaut said here today that she could not do Salman Khan starrer 'Sultan' mainly because of date issues.
It has been reported that Kangana chose to do Vishal Bharadwaj's movie 'Rangoon' starring Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan over Salman Khan starrer 'Sultan', which is backed by Yash Raj Films.
"I had already given dates to 'Rangoon' and that's why I couldn't do the film," Kangana told reporters here.
Reportedly, this is the second time she has rejected a role opposite Salman, with the first one being 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', since she was the first choice to play the lead in Kabir Khan's film.
Commenting on reports that she has become choosy about roles and increased her fees, Kangana says, "I have always been choosy. Regardless of whether you are successful or not or there are options available or not, you have to choose the best. Earlier, there were not much options for me but now there are options. So I can afford to be choosy".
When asked to comment on reports of a "cold war" between her and Deepika Padukone, she said "It is Katti Batti".
