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.”

  • Nothing Exciting! Sultans Sript – Pehle action plus bipoic type feel plus Aakhri me emotions daalke Paise kamaana chahte haii!
    Raees Will Rule!

  • I just have to say Sultan is getting bigger and bigger day by day . It is also great to see Salman and Anushka working hard for the movie . Ali Abbas Zafar has a huge challenge as he has been criticized for his direction before and now he is working with Salman and Anushka which is coming on Eid and is expected to clash with Raees starring SRK . Let’s hope Sultan has a good story . Let’s not care about Box Office Collections because only content matters at the end of the day . Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Expecting realism from the makers of Gunday and actor of cult classics like Dabba-2,Bodyguard..Lol. Sultan will ruin the legacy of sports based films until Dangal redeems it.

  • few days ago indicine said.. we probubly know what might happen in komal nahata n raees postponed news… bt cnt reveal
    MY GUESS-
    FARHAN MIGHT DECIDED TO POSTPONE RAEES..
    BT RITESH WANTS IT ON EID…
    KOMAL NAHATA TOOK NEWS FROM PEOPLE IN PRODUCTION HOUSE N POSTED ON TWITTER… with for confidance..
    i think evn raees producers r confused abt release date etc.

  • Some Bhai fans on twitter don’t have a Roti to eat in their homes but talking about anything less than 300crs is an insult for them.

  • u have to be big enough to withstand against srk otherwise u know what will happen..anyways Raees is a much awaited movie of the year followed by Fan and bahubali2

  • Only one word ,
    gunday>mnik
    this is enough to shut mouths of haters who keep chanting about the director though it 5 yr later but it still the highest ever in february

  • I am pretty sure half of the wrestling sequences in the movie would be performed by a Body-double and in the end Salman would take all the credit.
    Salman isn’tas athletic as Akki nor has the commitment towards his work like Aamir to sweat it out

  • For salman I think real action is on punch and 10 men down.
    Raees will be a smart film with brilliant dialouges.
    Baniye ka dimaag aur miyan bhai ki daring.

    Sultan ka hoga lultan.
    Badhshah sultan ko batayega ki King Khan ek hi hain.

  • Content, scale and acting are very different things. If content and acting are very good and scale are average still movie can become an ATBB. If acting and content are poor but scale are bigger than life still movie might be average/ semi-hit if not flop/disaster as we already have seen that. For instance, HNY & PRDP. Therefore, RAEES is still upper hand than SULTAN.

  • Good cmnt Dumb dumb boy @ARJUN 1:07 .

    Only akshay kumar can give his movie feel real.

  • Sultan is growing bigger day by day!Just can’t control my excitement. Just hope that Ali Abbas Zafar doesn’t mess things up.Go for it SULTAN!

  • during BROTHERS movie karan and akshay told the fight sequences (matches)in the film are shot like real matches n we all know the result of the movie…Just fights are not enough.

  • If rice ? seller clashed with #$uper$ULTAN then hakla will through out of top 3 and hrithik will replaced him with the 3rd spot ??!!!! Coz Billu Fan in best case scenario will not go past the 100cr ?
    BHAI will retain 1st spot with #$ULTAN even if #$ULTAN face Clash with small star haklu’s film but hakla will face some real troubles if he Clashed with #Mighty$ULTAN
    #GodGiveSomeAkalToOurBelovedHakla #HeDesperatelyNeeds¡t
