‘Sultan fights real, no cables’
Salman Khan, who plays a wrestler in Ali Abbas Zafar-directed Sultan said that most of the fights in the film are real, without cables and with real wrestlers. “When Ali narrated to the me the story I thought I'll be able to do it. But then while doing it, opposite me were not fighters but real wrestlers. Most of the shots in the film are real, wrestlers and mixed marital arts, there are no cables and because of them there is lot of contact happening in the film. When they lift you and put to the ground it used to hurt, they were of 120-130 kilos,” he said. “They expect you to pick you up and throw you down. When a wrestler trains he trains for two-three hours, then training for MMA, and six-seven hours of shoot every day non-stop, fighting non-stop. So those six hours in those lights and training, that used to take a toll,” Salman said. Is it inspired from a real-life characterIJ “This is from his (Zafar) mind. It is the story of an underdog.”
