Director Ali Abbas Zafar has taken off to Punjab for his film Sultan, which stars Salman Khan.
Zafar, who has also written the film, took to Twitter to share the news.
“Bismillah...at Manakpur shah Dargah. Punjab #Sultan...The journey begins,” he posted.
Produced by Aditya Chopra under his Yash Raj Films banner, the movie is reportedly based on the life of a wrestler, and Dabangg star Khan will play the lead. The leading lady of the film is yet to be announced.
While the shooting of the film is scheduled to begin in November, its release date has been announced. It will hit the screens over Eid in 2016.
Meanwhile, Khan’s fans are waiting with bated breath for Bajrangi Bhaijaan, in which he will take the audience on an emotional journey from India to Pakistan. It is also to release at Eid this year, which is likely to be on July 17.
