Salman Khan, who promised his fans a “double size” avatar in “Sultan”, is gaining muscle for the upcoming film instead of piling on weight. He says it’s “difficult” and requires “a lot of hard work”.
“I’m not gaining weight but gaining muscles for ‘Sultan’, and that is difficult. It is not fat… You have to follow a strict schedule, but then it makes you stronger and fitter. It takes a lot of hard work,” Salman told IANS.
Bollywood’s “Dabangg” actor, who will turn 50 in December, followed in Aamir Khan’s footsteps for Ali Abbas Zafar’s “Sultan”, in which he will be seen as a wrestler. Aamir has been in news for his weight fluctuations for his film projects and that has raised concerns in the family over his health. But Salman said that it’s not the case for “Sultan”, which will hit the screens on Eid 2016.
The actor asserts that as he is not gaining weight or adding fat, there are no health complications involved.
After entertaining his fans with a heart-warming story in “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”, Salman will be making a comeback on the silver screen with his iconic ‘Prem’ character in “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo”. The family drama, which reunites Salman with Sooraj Barjatya after 16 years, also stars Sonam Kapoor and Anupam Kher and will hit the screens on November 12.
Though Salman is excited over the film, he rues the fact that he is unable to dedicate much of his time on his fitness training.
“Training is going good. It is just that I have not given much time to it because of promotion of ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. I wish I wouldn’t have to promote films so that I would have concentrated on the training more. But this is also important,” he said.
One of the fittest actors of Bollywood, has started intensive training for wrestling and mixed martial arts for “Sultan” with international action director Larnell Stovall. Produced by Aditya Chopra under his Yash Raj Films banner, the movie is reportedly based on the life of a wrestler and the shooting of the film is scheduled to commence in November.

#SultanEid2016
@iamAKN wait ntill PRDP comng only 2 days left all haters will die too much fun
Sultan is getting good buzz because of Salman’s new look, Clash with Raees, Salman playing the role of a Wrestler and Salman working with YRF after ETT . I am happy to see that Salman is gaining muscles for Sultan because it is important he fits the character properly . Salman never really changes his look for a movie but after a very long time Salman has done with Sultan and he never modifies his physique but now he is looking fat which means he is doing his work well . In the Month of December Salman will be 50 and at this age it becomes very difficult for such a physical transformation . Even Aamir is facing health problems because of gaining more than 30 KG at the age of 50 . I hope with Sultan Salman can deliver a brilliant performance and Ali Abbas Zafar improves his direction as his movies have not been upto the mark .
No vfx just hard graft
Both the top 2 patriotic khans have my fullest respect
Dangal n Sultan will top 2016s end of year charts
Next Eid wrestling god Sultan will crush the Baadshah Rice Smuggler.
Heavyweight Sultan will annihilate the paperweight Skeleton King
1 sided contest- all bets are off- Sultan wins hands down

Looking forward to PRDP and Sultan
we all know vfxgate abs of ur bhai lol thats why he says gaining muscle is hard
whereas ur bhai himself rubbishes ur claim about srk having fake ones even ur bhai troll u losers
It is quite obvious for a number of years now that Indicine.com is funded by SRK it does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out because anytime he has a film in the works they over publish articles on the film but funny ? thing is it has not worked over past no of years. Ignoring Salman and others have worked better in their favor because people became more curious. As I say SRK has poured money into the upkeep of indicine site but that’s their business and for their conscience to deal with. These things don’t affect Salman’s stardom where you find they encourage haters comments on Salman to take preeminence you find more important people is on Salman’s side so who cares about a few illiterate idiotic morons who know nothing. God is taking notes and he is still the blessed controller of all things.
By the way Salman is not lucky. He is blessed by the one who created him, this is why no matter how much you hate him you can never truly touch his life, he is like Job in the scriptures, he lost everything thing but because God had a plan for his life and restored his wealth threefold. Same every one was writing off Salman in all manner of ways but God came forward and said hold on now watch what happened Salman is on his way to his ninth hit and still more to come
So you haters please take a back seat ? and watch the flood of the blessings being poured out.
Salman is a Brand name in the world. No need any thing else.. nam hee kafi heee
only one megastar of two decades
@Qamar Ali Khan
Agreed with you bro indicine always give priority to SRK
On Eid 2016 SULTAN will spit to faces of all SRK’s fans after make RAEES crash.
@iamgatarkachAmaN, wait for rohit’s crapfest with bunch of over acting from queen.
@Challa : If you believe you are more hard working than Salman, come on kiddo make it count and show what you got !!!!!! Can you or you just keep blabbering ???
@challa, how lucky your king is to have paid media to hype his stardom…
@faulty remote control : He did only during ETT that too because of treatment he was going through. If a normal person like you experience that ‘trigeminal neuralgia’ disease you will commit suicide due to unbearable pain in nerve !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Salman has a big heart he never let his friends down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ha ha ha ha,his body from starting career till now looking like family packs ,hardly any 4 packs are visible that too might with some steroids/botox or may ne due to some Photoshop work in jai ho.
I still can remember the scene from KA how he beated by KING KHAN.and from recent photos of him and KING KHAN,it clearly showed he is not even 15% fitter like KING KHAN.
Last thing RAEES BHAI already stormed with THE TEASER.and salman is trying to increase the buzz of crappy gunday’s director’s sultana daku?at least he’ll show some 1 rupee trailer like jail ho and will try to follow people.but it’s very sad before started his game,KING KHAN made his game finished and attacked his rested home EID .now non actor will realise what have actually to pay when someone release a movie against KING KHAN in THIS CHTISTMAS,EID 2016 though he already realised it in 2006.
RAEES BHAI will throw sultana daku out of theatre one and half week just like what HE did in 2006.poor non actor’s career will be ended with too much deperacy and over confidence.
ha ha ha ha ,non actor salman’s fans are saying KING SRK as an overactor,ROFL.WHOSE LEGACY STARTED FROM DEEWANA TO TILL NOW,AND WHOSE CLASS UNMATCHABLE FROM DARR TO MNIK/JTHJ….
Oh I forgot according to bhojpuri towelwalas quality films indicates films like dabang,ready,bodyguard,kick,dhoom3,pk like mahacraps,ROFL.
15 FILMFARE BEST PERFORMANCE KING KHAN HAS ahead of MEGALEGEND DILLIPJI,BIGB.and these 1 rupee bhojpuri towelwala are comparing THIS MEGALEGEND KING OF BOLLYWOOD with a class writer’s classless non actor son ,ROFL.bhojpuri logic sucks big time,ROFL.
Salman fans don’t roam by keeping your brain in pockets.use it in your heads,if you’re against DILWALE,then honestly you should have against sultana daku and in support of RAEES.
RAEES will take the last breathe of your actor ,RIP sultana daku.don’t do so much care about bm,because it’s ultimate fate decided already as it’ll be another bombay velvet.so do care about your bhojpuri sultana daku who is going to thrash bhai REAL SULTAN AKA RAEES BHAI.
