Parineeti Chopra will replace Sonakshi Sinha as Salman Khan's Rajjo in 'Dabangg 3'. While the news is exciting, it is equally surprising too, considering Sonakshi had essayed the role of Rajjo in earlier two instalments of the blockbuster. Sonakshi Sinha, who made her debut opposite Salman Khan in 'Dabangg' and was later retained for its sequel 'Dabangg 2,' might not score well. Hence, to see somebody else in the same character might be shocking and disheartening for the fans of Ms Sinha. There had been rumours sometime back that all was not well between Salman and Sonakshi. There is no doubt that Salman and Sona looked really cute as a couple on screen in 'Dabangg' and 'Dabangg 2', but it would be equally interesting to see what new Parineeti brings to the table. Interestingly, Salman wanted Parineeti to play Aarfa in 'Sultan' but things didn't materialise and now, the superstar and his director brother Arbaaz are keen to have Parineeti on board to bring some freshness to the hit franchise.
