Salman will be getting in the ring as a wrestler on the silver screen with the film.
“Sultan” is said to be based on life of Sultan Ali Khan — a wrestler who is faced with problems in his professional and personal lives. To get hold of the character in the best possible way, Salman gained weight and underwent rigorous training.
