Bhai or Dabangg Khan is undoubtedly the biggest reason to watch Sultan. Salman Khan will be seen in a never-seen-before avatar of an ageing wrestler Sultan Ali Khan. He has worked really hard to look his part and had undergone rigorous training, imncluding learning various wrestling techniques for the film. His buffed-up and moustached look has already made his fans weak in the knees. And as usual, Salman is releasing Sultan around Eid, which is the actor’s lucky charm. All his movies that released on Eid have been super hits and entered the coveted Rs 100 crore club.
The NH10 actress will also be playing a wrestler for the first time on screen. After working with Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and PK respectively, Anushka is all set to share the screen space with Bollywood’s third Khan in Sultan. She will also be seen pinning down her opponents in the akhada(wrestling ring). The actress has also mastered the Haryanvi dialect for her role of Aarfa in the movie.
Salman and Anushka are coming together for the first time onscreen and from the promos and songs, they surely make one helluva onscreen couple. From flirting with each other to expressing their love with deep emotions, Salman and Anushka’s chemistry looks promising on screen.
There’s a moment in the film in which Sultan Ali Khan says sorry to a character, and begins earning forgiveness. It is a what if’ moment, especially resonant in the face of his most recent controversy.
It is tempting to wonder, just for a second, if that reel moment could turn real. In films, as in real life, an apology has lasting power.
