Kangana Ranaut was the first choice for the film. However, the actress rejected it, citing date issues. The reports on the other hand state that the real reason was that Kangana thought the role was not significant enough. Whatever might be the reason, but the 'Queen' must be regretting the decision now.

After Kangana rejected the film, it was said that Aditya Chopra wanted Parineeti Chopra to do the role, and was in talks with her for the same. However, by then, Anushka had been finalized as Aarfa

‘Sultan’ has turned out to be the biggest hit of the year so far. Everyone had thought that the movie will be just another Salman Khan film. However, after being applauded by viewers and critics alike, ‘Sultan’ has proved that it is not just another hero-centric movie like most Salman Khan starrers, and the lead actress, Anushka Sharma too, had a powerful and equally important role as Aarfa.

However, you will not believe, but this role had been rejected by many other actresses, before it landed in Anushka’s kitty.
