Fans who loved watching Salman and Anushka in Sultan got all excited and awaited an official statement from either of them. Now, the actress has issued an official statement regarding the film and it's not what her fans might want to know. Much to the disappointment of the audience, Salman and Anushka will NOT be seen together in Bhansali's next. Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma to Reunite after Sultan for Sanjay Leela Bhansali?

An official statement from Anushka Sharma has been released this afternoon regarding the reports about the same. It reads: Anushka Sharma would love to collaborate with Sanjay Leela Bhansali but as of now, there is no truth to the speculations claiming Anushka has been signed for his next. We request you to kindly refrain from reporting on the same.

While Anushka has denied all rumours, Salman is yet to address them. If he doesn't it is very likely that he will sign a Bhansali film soon. So does that mean the hunt for the lead actress is still on?
