Salman Khan to begin shooting for 'Sultan' post 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who recently wrapped up ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, has his plate full with several projects in the pipeline. The industry has been eager to know which film the star will start next after the completion of his current project ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’.

According to a report in Absolute India, Salman will begin with Ali Abbas Zafar’s sports-based film ‘Sultan’ post ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. A source was quoted as saying, “In fact, Salman had loved the Ali’s idea long back and agreed to do it on principle. But, the officials at Yash Raj Films were waiting for Salman to sign Sultan when the entire script was ready. A few days back when the final narration happened, Salman was mighty impressed and informed Ali that he loved the script and intends to start the film this year itself. In fact, Salman said that he would be giving Ali his dates from this September.”

The report also stated that Salman will begin shooting for ‘Sultan’ after ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’, and will then allot dates for Karan Johar’s ‘Shuddhi’. While ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ will release on Eid this year, ‘Sultan’ will most likely become Salman’s 2016 Eid release.
