New Delhi: With the first look of Sultan crossing the 10 million mark in less than a week of its release, it's apparent that no one flexes box office muscle like 'muscle man' Salman Khan. Competitors back off since they know better than to take on Salman when it comes to the box office. (Also Read: In Sultan Teaser, Salman Khan's Muscles Kick up a Lot of Dust)

Meanwhile, Salman seems to be in a mood to experiment when it comes to his choice of the leading ladies. Salman is no longer looking for newcomers who are happy sharing screen space with him and fade away after the release of the film. He is now looking at performance-driven actors who hold their own onscreen. Therefore, after Anushka Sharma in Sultan, the grapevine has it that it's Deepika Padukone who will be his leading lady in Kabir Khan's next film, tentatively titled Tube Light.

Deepika, who is yet to sign a Hindi film, will wrap xXx: The Return of Xander Cage schedule by the end of this month. Once the actress is back in Mumbai, sources suggest that Deepika will sign Kabir's film. (Also Read: This is Deepika Padukone's 'Most Favourite Scene' in xXx 3)
