Sultan Teaser heavily inspired from Dangal’s Geeta Phogat story

Two of the most awaited films of 2016 – Sultan and Dangal – are both based on the story of wrestlers. While Dangal is a real-life story of Mahavir Singh Phogat (amateur wrestler and senior Olympics coach), the story of Sultan is completely fictional.

But the newly released teaser of Sultan seems to be heavily inspired (would be an understatement) from a video of Geeta Phogat’s story – which was released more than a year ago in January 2015.

Geeta Phogat is Mahivir Singh Phogat’s first daughter and her character will be played by Fatima Sana Shaikh in Dangal.

Watch the two videos below and check out the similarities for yourself. Everything from the voice over, pull-ups of Anushka Sharma, her taking on a male wrestler, then fighting a female wrestler and the message of women empowerment – every bit of it has been included in the second teaser of Sultan.

  • Bhai already said that SULTAN is a love story and not a full fledged Wrestling Movie their might be some similarity in Teaser2 but that doesn’t mean SULTAN and DANGAL are cut to cut same so Chill Newly joined 80cr Fanz ?!!!!

  • @indicine, What do you mean by saying “heavily inspired”? Do you even know what the word “inspiration” means?
    Have you heard about “Plagiarism”?

  • lots of people reading this article so plz dont spered negativity of ..salman sir movie..thnx

  • Lol Indicine stated that the 2nd teaser of Sultan is copied from an inspirational video made about Geeta Phogat. Why are some people jumping up and down as if Indicine said whole Sultan movie is copied from Dangal…? Some are replying like ‘Should Dangal change the script’ and all…lol…c’mon atleast read the article properly and jump…

  • Let Dangal teaser come. God khan is coming back after 2 years. Sab ki faad dega.
    Gud luck to sultan. It will create new records jo Dangal todegi .

  • @fasal loongiwala 2:50pm:

    According to this logic….
    Raeesa = shootout at wadala.
    Because both of them are about underworld and have sunny leone’s item number…Hahahaha.

  • lol fictional story wat else we can hope from the director of biggest disaster of bollywood i was tensed about salman’s record of copying and pasting thank god record is safe

  • i am sure this arjun youngistaan is copy of chatur ramalingam of 3 idiots or he is heavily inspired by him.

  • @Aakash

    I have a solution on that.

    All loyal Salman & Aamir fans should not fight with each other.

    If someone with Aamir Fans id try to bash Salman then Salman fans should ignore him…& vice versa.

    Note all Salman-Aamir fans there are too many fake ids with Salman & Aamir fans name in market generated recently for spread negativity against Sultan & Dangal.

    So guys just chill & be friends & once again Salman & Aamir will rock this year.

  • its not a big deal.but i am shocked srkian says that copy paste while their srk always do films with same story with little bit different way.aur kya fark padta both movie will be gonna ATBB. ek taraf hum remake banate hai ya fir south ki dubbed banate hai par thoda kuch improvement karte hai.to yaha par kyu nah ho sakta dangal aamir ki hai aur usme aamir ki lifestyle aur emotion ka maor role hoga naa ki actress(unki beti ka).indicine comment paane k liye aise article publish karna bandh karo

  • O an serious note the problem isnt that the teaser is somewhat similar to that video .The problem is that another superstar(probably the biggest superstar of Bollywood) is coming with a film on the same theme.And even same theme isnt a problem as OMG and PK were on same theme presented in different and entertaining manners.But here the video is totally a copy of the video of Geeta Phogat and the other film is based on real life story of Geeta Phogat. It was totally an unexpected thing.

  • never expected such a Non-sense article from a reputed site like U @INDICINE…
    UR this non-sense cannot stop SULTAN from becomming a huge Blockbuster..
    I’m not a Salman khan fan.I’m Emran hashmi fan nd wanted to see raees on Eid but now I PROMISE THAT NO1 CAN STOP SULTAN
    IT’s still ok considering ur LOVE for srk which is quit evident from ur articles. U just acted to be just during Fan days but remember………….
    anyhow srk’s many movies are also big time inspired one’s like MNIK,FAN and many more craps

  • Whatever Salman Khan and his team do, nothing can bring down Aamir Khan and Dangal. Sultan will be a mindless film by a mindless crap director with a nonactor. On the other side, Dangal is a masterpiece considering Aamir doing it. Sultan may earn a lot because of Eid, but have anyone noticed the chances Salman got to surpass 3 Idiots and each and every time he failed! This time he will also fail. Salman was below Aamir Khan all the time and he will remain below forever. No matter how much rip-off he does or haw many craps he releases….

    hhmmm…Baised people
    It will be better if u remove this article

  • Inspired or not @Indicine,it’s ur headache but just go and see youtube response AND bigger than thaton EID..get ready to be bashed and then u will say along ur srkians FUBAR

  • @Tiger : the real king 2:50pm,
    Absolutely right bro, this way all Srk movies are copy from other movies whether it’s
    FAN which is full copy of Hollywood FAN even they copy name too or
    it’s Dilwale which is copy of MI 2 (scene where srk and kajol do car stunt) or
    it’s Mohabbatein which is inspired by (or I say srk stole it from) Dead poet society or
    it’s My name is Khan which is inspired by (or again I say stole from) Rain man and Forest gump

    And guys trust me list is very big almost all his movie, he never disappoint us and always stole movie from others what a shameless non-actor..

    Now Srk Chor to tha hi ab Bhagoda bhi ho gaya hai…

    Too Much Fun..

  • Ha ha ha… So what Indicine? It will be an blockbuster no matter who tries to do what against Sultan…

  • And tell me @Indicine from where the background dialogues r copied?
    both r 1000 percent different nd opposite..have u heard them with both of your ears…hhmmmm

  • @Indiccine shame on you there’s no just a little bit similarity which is obvious just spreading negativity around the movie

  • In fact the way Anushka dragged down that loser at the 35 sec mark was very similar to the way our very own sherni Aisha ji takes down that joker boy fan Sunny Yogi Bear Floppiholic every single day…!

    Girl power on the rise

  • INDICINE
    INDICINE
    INDICINE Get Ready……For…..UR….punishment….for…….this..Non-Sense ARTICLE
    INDICNE

  • So does it mean people may from refrain from watching Dangal Pandey becaused of the repeated story. Besides, Bhakhts are ready against Dangal. So it will be a disaster.
    11-Hit-Career of Aamir will be over.. No hirani no dhoom brand this time

  • ADMIN

    Nothing wrong with 2 films with similar themes releasing almost together coz afterall we all knew Billu 1 and Pankha had similar storylines but yet you started shouting from the pre production stage that Kings Pankha was gonne be Content Rich…! Why not keep the faith n expect Aamirs Dangal to also be High on Content…!

  • @3:54pm Jesus Christ

    Excuse my blasphemy my Lord but you are absolutely Right.

    The same site that ignored the fact that Irrfan Khans Billu was similar to Kings Pankha has today all of a sudden thought “hhhmmm hey 2 wrestling movies releasing in 1 yr must be similar in story ALSO…”, double standards
