After Aamir in Dangal, Salman Khan to play wrestler in Sultan

Earlier today, Yash Raj Films officially announced their biggest film of 2016 – Sultan starring Salman Khan in the lead.

In a statement, the production house said “After the roaring blockbuster Ek Tha Tiger, Salman Khan returns to YRF in and as SULTAN! Produced by Aditya Chopra and written-directed by Ali Abbas Zafar,

the film will commence shooting in November (2015) and will release in Eid 2016.”

The tag line in the teaser talks about wrestling “Wrestling is not a sport. It’s about fighting what lies within” it says.

Interestingly, Salman’s good friend Aamir Khan will also be playing the role of a wrestler in his 2016 Christmas release ‘Dangal’. Directed by Nitish Tiwari, ‘Dangal’ is based on the life of Mahavir Singh Phogat.

  • @asad khan nangawale

    Talking alot of nonsense about worst director n worst actor but what excuse do you have to explain why the best evergreen director in btown Yash ji along with the best actor sarook (supposedly) delivered arguably the worst film ever to come out of YRF studios- Jab Tak Hai Mojo…

  • it’s show insecurity of salmanfirst he booked way before realese date of prdp and than for making money suddenly announced bajarangi bhaaijan released date which shooting start after prdp but realesed before prdp people has to self respect which is now missing completely evenyou book relesed date of eid 2017 ??? he has to learn something from varun who realised his movie during Ramadan and sure he beat his jai ho collection both In India and overseas. and if it’s for cheap publicity stunt to get attention that it’s reduculs

  • WOW….It will be biggest BLOCKBUSTER. The same combination Yrf and Salman has
    given biggest blockbuster in Ek tha Tiger.
    Salman as Boxer in Sultan……WoW…….

  • Global Queen tried taking up wrestling but whwn he heard about the power of the Peoples Eyebrow, Power of the YES movement n our bhai jaans mighty JALWA then Queen opted against a career as a wrestler n settled for a career in nautanki where his overacting excels…

  • In 2015 srk will deliver the highest grossing
    movie of all time with Dilwale….!!!
    * Dilwale : 400 crore + in domistic…
    * 300 crore +in overseas…!!!

    in 2016 srk Will give biggest hit ever…!!
    * Raees : 300 crore +
    * overseas : 350 crore +
    worldwide : 700 crore +

  • year by year, Day by day, minute by minute Salman is becoming more worst with his every upcoming movie.. Sultan is another worst step by him.. SRK Does cleam family Masala movie which is still better and bigger hit/grosser than any Salman’s masala movie still later SRK he has signed 2 offbeat, dark different genres movies like Raees and FAN while Salman is doing the same crap thing since Wanted as he is too afraid to take risk.. this is why i called Salman Bhojpuri actor as he is a bhojpuri actors and Movies like jai ho, Kick, Ready, Veer, Wanted, Dabang, Bodyguard,Ett, BB and now Sultan ( same genres movies with no script) proved it that actually Salman is a bhojpuri actor..

  • @iamakn Srk played a weak fighter in HNY who gets injured with a door. LOL
    One punch from Salman and Srk will reach on Jupiter, where he will not have any hospitals to treat him.

  • Dangal will be a GEM of a performance from Aamir Khan no doubt about that..but here is the scope for salman Khan to deliver his best performance to date and i hope he delivers..but for that he needs to prepare for his role just like Aamir Khan..if the film is wrapped up quickly keeping eid release in mind,I don’t think salman Khan will do complete justice to the character..

  • Now indicine is comparing aamir with salman…dangal with sultan…..india’s best superstar actor vs india’s worst superstar actor….lol..

  • @challa Salman will give a better performance than Srk’s overacting ij every film. Srk is the worst actor of bollywood, overacting in every scene, and he doeant know ABCD of acting.

  • Two Wrestling Movies in 2016:

    1. Salman – Sultan (Eid)

    2. Aamir – Dangal (Christmas)

  • Salman khan in Sultaan as a wrestler! Now I fear he may kill someone in the name of acting. Every co-actor should be aware of salman’s intentions. He is so dangerous!

  • This time everyone will get to know who has more guts. If Sultan releases on Eid-ul-fitr, than Salman is bigger than SRK. But if Raees releases on Eid-ul-fitr, than SRK is bigger than Salman. If both clashes, than both have same star power.

  • @Chela Dnt burn buddy.. If u thnk Sultan may be worst den be hpi bt dnt use any bad wrd fr Salman.. After teaser arrived Trending #SultanEid2016 worldwide n Srk fans also started trend fr Raees.. So my point is dat Y u scare bro inside Inspite without trailer,script U all srk fans knws itz bein worst so chilll .. n no bad wrd fr sallu nxt time ..

  • Srk is not a big star as salman..if clash happen , only great content can save srk…all the best for both movies..

  • No one knows srk played d role of wrestler in hny bt everyone knows salmir is playing it even before d movie hit d screen or goes on floor (sultan)

  • Interesting.
    1. Bio epic or true life story
    No Doubts Megastar Aamir will do justice to d character his playing.
    2. Hope d other is kind of innovative still trying to figure d connection between d name sultan n d character Megastar Salman is gonna potray bcos am not really cool with that Director Ali zafar. But I hope Zafar really exhaled this time around. Though Wit Salman it’s not about d director n d banner it’s just his name an above average story line good songs and then big numbers @d box office.
    Wish both of them luck 2016

  • What I said last week my sixth sense never goes wrong…. I says that raees will not release not eid 2016 …..bcoz srk don’t want 3 release in just six months….
    look what happens sultan will release on eid 2016 …..bingo…..I says that too….
    so ready for sultan 7/07/2016 eid day which comes on Thursday…..
    so 4 days weekend for salman….
    another 300 cr movie….

  • LOL..Ali Abbas Zafar’s previously directed Gunday has 1.9 rating on IMDb..I expect Sultan to be at the same level..Adding to this it also has our bhojpuri star..it is bound to be a disaster..

  • I m more excited for dangal, dangal will have out of the box story. tired of seeing salman and srk again and again. aamir’s movies are much better than them. no hatred but its truth.
