Sultan will feature real-life sports tournaments

Sultan is set to be a much bigger film. Mid-Day reports that the makers of the Salman Khan starrer have decided to recreate major sports events to add realism to the film.

Since the plot of the film features real sports tournaments, events like the 2010 Asian Games in China, 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, 2012 Olympics in London and 2013 Wrestling World Championships in Hungary will be re-enacted.

“The film’s plot features real sports tournaments that have a critical influence on its characters. To build authenticity and add credibility, immaculate efforts have been taken by the makers to recreate major sports events.” a source was quoted as saying by the daily.

Director Ali Abbas Zafar confirmed the news ”You can say we have put in enough time for research of the sport. We met real life wrestlers and then incorporated that in the script; travelled extensively through Haryana and Delhi for two months and toured the akhadas (wrestling hubs) as part of our research.”

    Agar realism hi dekna ho toh wait for Dangal starring the Perfectionist. Agar paisa vasool entertainment chaiye to wait for Housefull3 starring King of Comedy Akki. Aur agar blend of realism+entertainment chaiye toh wait for Raees starring king khan

    Real competition for biggest blockbuster of Year 2016 is in Between Sultan and MOHENJO DARO.

    and rest will be much below than Sultan & MOHENJO DARO.

  • Ali Abbas Zafar so far proved to be below average director.

    Real life footage maybe of poor quality. If it is not shot with excellent lighting and High Resolution cameras. This can affect over all quality of SULTAN which already looks and seem all over the place.

    This Eid SULTAN will have very strong competition at Box Office unlike last year solo release.

    Ali Abbas Zafar should shoot everything under controlled set which can give him maximum leverage at making SULTAN an watchable finished product.

  • It has become so interesting as the Super Mighty Sultan is getting bigger day by day!! Can’t wait for it…
    Now, the Raees Bhai will officially become Gareeb Rice and Daaru seller after Eid!!
    Meow bhai ki daring, Bikhari ki dimaag!!!

  • Aa Raha Hai, Sultan Ali Kahn!! Make way for him!
    All hail ‘Raees ki Sultan’ like Meow Bhai did in Filmfare Awards!!

  • Great, Sultan is the biggest film for YRF since Dhoom 3 so they are not leaving any stone unturned to make it biggest and real. I hope once the movie release it will worth all the time and money spend by makers and wait of fans.

  • Where r srk fans who used to create 400, 500, 1000 cr club…may be they have learnt lesson after dilwale…waise to 2 mahine me fan k release hone k bad to shayad 100 cr club pe aa jaye dobara

  • haha one more news-Yrf needs to post a news daily to create sultan buzz-I think they arent satisfied with the way film is shaping up so using such tactics

  • Looking at the reports that have emerged about Sultan so far, the film does promises to be in grand scale and it does not look like the meaningless masala flicks normally associated with Salman. Salman the actor will be put through a strenuous test one would feel. Looks like the film will have emotional sequences and it will be interesting to see how he is gonna portray the various emotions associated with acting which is supposedly not his strong forte.

  • Salman taking good effort for sultan , but he should do film like Marigold , Veer he is better in role . All the best for sultan .

  • RAEES is based on real life incidents, situations & real life person.
    It is based on prohibition of alcohol, prostitution, drug in Gujarat!
