New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been a part of several movies and has tried his hands on different genres i.e action, family drama, romance, comedy.

However, it will be for the first time that the actor will be seen in a movie revolving around sports – ‘Sultan’.

Salman will be seen playing the role of a wrestler in the movie. His looks and moves in the movie have already set the nerves racing of the audience.

Sultan, however, was not the first sports genre movie offered to the ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ actor.

He was, in fact, offered ‘Chak De India’ for the role of Kabir Khan, much before Shah Rukh was roped in for the movie.

Yes! It’s true.

Salman himself confessed this and revealed that he rejected the movie because of SRK.

“I didn’t do that because even Shah Rukh should get good films (giggles). I was busy doing commercial films that time and I am still doing. I was doing films like Partner and Ready,” Salman told a leading daily.

Currently, Salman Khan is gearing up for the release of ‘Sultan’ opposite Anushka Sharma, which is all set to release on Eid next month. On the other hand, he is also preparing for the Kabir Khan’s ‘Tubelight’ which will go on the floors in July.
