Sultan can be called Salman Khanβs dream project.The actor is very ambitious about the film and has left no stone unturned to give his heart and soul to the film. The actor has done everything from drinking green tea to maintain his voice quality to putting his health at risk by bulking up to play the role of a wrestler. The actor has largely avoided body doubles and performed immensely risky stunts and action scenes all by himself in the upcoming flick. The actor has broken box-office records earlier with super hit movies like Bajrangi Bhaijaan. However, it appears that the actor has decided to break his own records this time with Sultan.
The actor along with Yash Raj Films has decided to leave nothing to make this flick a huge success. They have been booking for the movie almost all the theatres across the country. Apparently, the makers have booked nearly 5000 screens as of now. Although we do not have a confirmed statement, the news can be quite a possibility! And if this happens, Sultan would have the widest Bollywood opening ever in India!
Salmanβs last Eid release, Bajrangi Bhaijaan was the one to have the widest Bollywood release in about 4500+ screens. However with about 5000, Sultan would break its records even before it releases.
This is what our trade pundits have to say about the newsβ¦
Amul Mohan, Trade expert said: βSultan will get about at 4800-5000 screens. But it isnβt confirmed as yet.β
Exhibitor and distributor, Akshaye Rathi revealed βThe film will get more than 4000 screens. In fact even more than 4500. It might have the widest release ever too. We will come to know the exact number by Monday.β
Sultan is believed to break all past records in the premiere week itself. Right now the opening day record is held by Happy New Year (Rs. 44.97 crore) and the highest opening weekend record is held by Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (129.77 crore). Although the amount seems to be really huge, our experts believe that Sultan would break all the records easily.
Now that we are wishing great luck to the movie, you must also not how Salmanβs fans are excited for the movie.

Sultan Ali Khan (Salman Khan) is a middle-aged ex-wrestling champion, who is living a mediocre and lonely life in the small town of Haryana. Aakash Oberoi (Amit Sadh), the founder of a private mixed martial arts league, is encouraged by his father to hire an Indian wrestler to salvage the league's popularity. He travels to Haryana to make an offer to Sultan, who bluntly refuses and says that he has completely retired from wrestling. In search of the reason behind his retirement, Aakash confronts Sultan's close friend Govind (Anant Sharma), who narrates how Sultan's career began.
Eight years ago, Sultan fell in love at the sight of Aarfa Hussain (Anushka Sharma), a state-level wrestler and the daughter of a local wrestling coach. Although she was initially cold towards him, Aarfa accepted Sultan as a friend. When he began to proclaim that she was his girlfriend, she rejected him by stating that she wishes to marry an accomplished wrestler like herself. Determined to win her respect, Sultan dedicated himself to intense training and ultimately won a state-level wrestling tournament, as well as Aarfa's love. The two were married and became recognized wrestlers, representing India in various international tournaments like the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games. When the two were announced as finalists for the Olympic Games, Aarfa discovered that she was pregnant. She gave up her childhood dream of winning an Olympic gold medal for India, which was then fulfilled by Sultan. To her surprise, Sultan's accomplishment made him arrogant, and he acted conceitedly during a press conference. Even though Aarfa informed him that she was nearing her due date, Sultan left to win another international wrestling championship. Upon returning, he was shocked to know that his newborn son had died due to severe anemia. The baby had a rare O negative blood type, identical to Sultan's, whose absence deprived the child of a donor. Angered, Aarfa decided to leave Sultan and reside with her father. Depressed from losing his wife and child, Sultan began to fundraise to open a blood bank in Haryana.
In the present day, Aakash asks Sultan to join his league and promises that the tournament's prize money will fulfill his dream of opening a blood bank. Sultan agrees despite having become unfit and tired, and travels to Delhi, where Aakash introduces him to freestyle mixed martial arts coach Fateh Singh (Randeep Hooda). After two months of training with Fateh, who is a former international champion, Sultan manages to regain his physique and learns how to wrestle freestyle. Although he initially struggles in his first fight, Sultan defeats the opponent using his own iconic wrestling style. He soon becomes a nationwide sensation once again by winning a series of matches and gains Aarfa's support in the process. During the semi-final round, Sultan wins the fight but is severely injured and has to be hospitalized. The doctor informs Aakash that Sultan should not fight again lest his injuries become fatal. Aarfa arrives at the ward and reconciles with Sultan, motivating him to continue fighting. During the final match, Sultan overcomes his pain to defeat his opponent and ultimately wins the tournament. Reunited with his wife, Sultan opens a blood bank using the prize money and Aarfa resumes wrestling. A few years later, she gives birth to a baby girl, whom Sultan begins to train as a wrestler.
