"It is the story of an underdog. The film revolves around my character's struggle. That's the best format. For example, most of the kids who qualify for the Olympics are usually poor. They lack nourishment, food and proper equipment. Still, they get that far after making it through school, college, state and national level competitions. Look at their dedication and love for the sport; it is commendable."

Salman Khan also reacted to allegations that he does similar roles in all his films. He told the daily:

"All my masala films have also had an emotional backdrop - be it a love story or a father-son equation. They've all had some emotional angle. Only hitting people or jumping off planes cannot make a film work. It needs to have a gripping story."

When asked to share his thoughts about reviews, Salman said:

"People who make my films work are more important for me. Some of them will like my work and others won't. Some will like me [in a movie] and others won't. You just need to work hard enough to get those who don't like you to start liking you."

Sultan releases this Eid.
