The two may come together in Atul Agnhotri's film

Deepika Padukone and Salman Khan may act opposite each other in Atul Agnihotri's next film. It seems Atul, who is Salman's brother in law, is keen about casting Deepika. The details are not yet finalised.

Earlier there had been speculation that Deepika has been signed for Anees Bazmee's film with Salman. But when Anees denied the rumour, the buzz died down.

Now with this latest development, the industry is waiting to see whether Deepika will accept the project or not, as Deepika is a close friend of Shah Rukh Khan and Shah Rukh is not on friendly terms with Salman.

Another reason is that Deepika's former boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor has been linked with Salman's girlfriend Katrina Kaif.
