Sultan – Salman Khan To Have A Dramatic Weight-Gain

Salman Khan at an event

Salman Khan is all set to essay the role of a wrestler in his next, Sultan. We hear, the actor will be going through a strict regimen to attain a particular weight and increase his muscular mass. Currently, Salman is wrapping up the shoot of his upcoming Diwali release Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and after that he will first start working on his look.

It seems the Sultan shoot will commence only once the actor is in right shape. We may expect Salman to promote Prem Ratan Dhan Payo in his Sultan look.
Since Sultan is slated to release next Eid, the makers will be shooting in a speedy process. The shooting will take place in maximum two schedules.
In the meanwhile, we are yet to learn who will be Salman’s leading lady in the film. Anushka Sharma recently confirmed that she is not working on Sultan. The film is being helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar.

Hero’ box office collections: Salman Khan production manages 35-40 pct occupancy rate on day 1

Hero box office collections

Hero’ box office collections rest on superstar Salman Khan’s pulling power without him actually having any role to play in the movie – he is the producer. ‘Hero’ stars newcomers and, even though they may have the backing of Salman Khan, Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty performances can alter that only a little.
Salman Khan has gone all out to promote the movie. He has even promised fans that he will personally sign theatre tickets and all they have to do is post them to him. He announced this on Twitter in his inimitable way: “Watch ‘Hero’. Send me your ticket. I will sign 100 tickets. One of them could be yours. Send your ticket(s) to PO Box 9808 Bandra (w) post office, Mumbai 4000050. Apna naam, address aur twitter handle bhi likhna.”
‘Hero’ has been well promoted and everyone who goes to watch movies is aware of the fact that it released today as well as the link with Salman Khan. The theme of the movie is modern and youngsters would be willing to give it a try. Whether it will appeal to a wider audience is unclear.
In the end, the question that requires to be answered is whether Salman Khan’s ‘call-to-action’ is appealing enough for his fan-hordes to descend on theatres to watch ‘Hero’. Indubitably, Salman Khan has hyped up Sooraj Pancholi immensely and if that gets successfully translated on ground, the sky is the limit.
One thing going in Hero’s favour is that it will not face any competition from rivals as no top-draw movie is releasing alongside and neither is any other strong rival looming from the previous week.
By late Friday evening, reports indicated that ‘Hero’ day 1 occupancy rate was 35-40%. That is just a little above average. It is clear that Salman Khan’s promoting power is having to battle hard against all the reviews which have more or less panned the movie. With the weekend upon us, it remains to be seen, how the audiences will react. Much will depend on word of mouth feedback, which if positive, will bring people to theatres. However, expectations are that the box office collections will improve only to an extent.

Why Salman Khan goes out of his way to promote star kids

Salman Khan is all over the small screen. No, ‘Bigg Boss’ is yet to be aired on the idiot box, but Salman has made an appearance in ‘Dance+’, ‘Comedy Nights Bachao’, and ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’. Interestingly, Salman in his ‘Being Human’ avatar is accompanied by two debutante stars Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty, who will soon be debuting in ‘Hero’, directed by Nikhil Advani.
Incidentally, the two newcomers in question come with famous Bollywood surnames. Sooraj is the son of popular hero Aditya Pancholi and critically acclaimed actress Zarina Wahab while Athiya is the daughter of Suneil Shetty, famous action hero of the 90s.
Salman has believed in mentoring newcomers, largely dominated by filmi-background.
Being one of the co-producers along with Subhash Ghai, it is understandable that Salman has been taking deep interest in the movie. True to his reputation of being a messiah to all the newcomers with famous surnames, Salman is ready to promote the two newcomers as much as possible. The actor crooned a title track for Hero, which incidentally is a remake of 1983 hit of the same name, directed by Ghai, starring Jackie Shroff and Meenakshi Seshadri. Newcomers Sooraj and Athiya, have evoked huge interest ever since the movie was announced. Sooraj’s name was embroiled in the Jiah Khan suicide case, while Athiya has been a head turner on Instagram.
Bollywood dynasties rule in the Hindi film industry, where every big filmmaker intends to cast a star kid. This automatically fuels up huge PR gimmicks, elevates media hype and pumps up public attention. Being the movie loving nation, the audience identify with the star-kids carrying the lineage of their parents. Thus, the anticipation over the launch of the star kids automatically increases, building up the hype for the film.
Salman has always enjoyed being the godfather and has been kind towards children of his co-stars struggling to find a feat in the industry.
Boney Kapoor’s son Arjun Kapoor and Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter Sonakshi, the famous overweight brats of rich families are the biggest success stories launched by Salman. It was on the insistence of Salman that the two youngsters progressed from fat to fab.
Salman was equally supportive of Sonam Kapoor when she made a debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Sawaariya’, in which Salman made a guest appearance. The list is long starting from Bilal Amrohi, grandson of late filmmaker Kamal Amrohi, who too was mentored by Salman as debuted in ‘O Teri’. The buzz made rounds that Salman would be promoting youngsters like Raza Murad’s son Ali Murad, Danny Denzongpa’s son Rinzing Denzongpa and late Vijay Anand’s son Vaibhav Anand.
Filmmakers like Mahesh Bhatt, Ram Gopal Varma and Anurag Kashyap have been well known for launching new talents regarddless of their backgrounds and surname baggage. Salman has believed in mentoring newcomers, largely dominated by filmi-background. This is a phenomenon that can be conveniently equated with the quota system that offers seats to a section of the society based on the caste. The seats in Bollywood are clearly booked for big filmi surnames.

Arjun is closes to his sister. "I am such a closed person in terms of my emotions, but my way of showing my emotions is to be doing things for her, rather than saying it. She understands me more than anybody else. She almost puts herself second, seeing the struggle I have had to go through to reach wherever I am," said Arjun in an interview.
Ranveer Singh and Ritika
Ranveer's elder sister Ritika pampers her younger brother. "Since I'm her baby brother, she always spoils me to bits," said Ranveer.
“Yes. I am very transparent with my real sister. I have had different phases with my sister, but what it has evolved into now is that she is like the second mother to me. She knows everything about me and I don't even think about it for a nanosecond before I vomit out everything in front of her about my life. We are closer than ever before now.”
Ranveer who is also a protective brother said, "I am very protective about my sister. I mean she is my life, so what more can I say than that. She is like my maa. She is my life. However, she doesn't talk to me about herself as much as I talk to her about myself. But, that's how she is as a person.”

During her wedding, Arpita wrote a very emotional letter to thank her brothers, which was read out by her close friend Priyanka Chopra as she was scared she would break down while reading it.
"I am the luckiest girl to be brought up in a family like mine. Sohail bhai and I shared the same room until he got married — he's like a friend to me. Arbaaz bhai is like my guide, he always told me what's good and what's bad. Salman bhai though, has the biggest heart. For him, I can do no wrong. Everything I did, he was there to support me," wrote Arpita.   
Shah Rukh Khan and Shehaz

Shehnaz is extremely proud of her brother.
"Sisters r so sweet. I asked mine if she remembers if I looked like lil AbRam. She said "NOO!!U were very handsome" haha," Shah Rukh tweeted recently.
Hrithik Roshan and Sunaina
Hrithik has been constant source of support to Sunaina through her tough times. She battled cancer recently and Hrithik has been vocal about how proud he was of the way she fought it. Sunania wrote a book on father Rakesh Roshan recently and Hrithik was quite excited to launch it at IIFA earlier this year. "I am happy and proud to be here.
