[tps_footer]Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is starring in an upcoming biopic, ‘Sultan’. Since its promotional poster release, the film is the much awaited movie of 2016.

Today, the new look of Salman Khan was released on ‘Sultan’ movie’s twitter profile.  The actor is seen in a clean shaven look and is wearing a white kurta. The actor looks lost in deep thought as he showcases the look. This depicts that due to certain circumstances Salman’s character will turn in Sultan.

For the role, the actor was asked to gain a lot of weight to look authentic as a wrestler in the film.  Both the lead actors, Salman and Anushka, have been training hard for the film and are busy shooting for it. The superstar has been training under stunt professional Larnell Stovall and his team. The actor will also be seen doing stunts on horse after some pictures were leaked from the sets of him learning horse riding.

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and produced under Yash Raj Productions, the film is about a wrestler, Sultan Ali Khan, a three times state champion from Haryana, for whom wrestling is more than just a sport. As Sultan Ali Khan, Salman not only has to be muscular, he is also required to sport a rugged look. The movie is scheduled to release on Eid this year clashing with Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’.[/tps_footer]
