Salman Khan has 10 days to transform into a wrestler

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan says that he has only 10 days to get back in shape for his role as a wrestler in Yash Raj Films’ Sultan.

“I start from today actually. I’ve got 10 days to get back into shape. These three weeks of mine I could not do anything because of promotions, so let’s see in 10 days how much difference can be seen,” Salman said during the promotions of his film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo at a jewellery store in Mumbai.

“I’m already there but I need to fine-tune it a bit,” he added.

In the film, Salman plays the title character, a wrestler from Haryana.

He had told IANS in an interview over a month back: “Audiences will see me in double size. My training for Sultan has started; so I need to get bigger and fitter for the role.”

Salman is also seen sporting a stubble and a crew cut currently as part of his look for the film.

The first look of the film, too, showed him with a handlebar moustache, which has generated a fair bit of curiosity among his fans.

In fact, the teaser of the film announcing that it would release on Eid 2016 sent both Salman’s and Shah Rukh Khan’s fans into a tizzy since that would mean that SRK’s Raees and Salman’s Sultan would clash.

Salman’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo has got a stupendous start at the box-office, wrapping up a great 2015 for him, with his production Bajrangi Bhaijaan also being declared a blockbuster.
