Filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar is celebrating 10 years of his Salman Khan starrer sports drama 'Sultan'.

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, 'Sultan' is a story of a wrestler played by Salman who in a bid to impress a woman wrestler, played by Anushka Sharma, decides to pursue wrestling and ends up becoming successful only to lose his ladylove when things take a bad turn.
The film produced by Aditya Chopra was released in 2016.
Not only was the film successful at the box office, but it also gave hit tracks like 'Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai' and 'Jag Ghoomeya.'
On the work front for Salman Khan, the actor will be next seen in the upcoming war film 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace'.
Produced by Salma Khan under the banner of Salman Khan Films, 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace' is directed by Apoorva Lakhia and also stars Chitrangada Singh in a pivotal role.
The film was earlier titled 'Battle of Galwan' before being renamed 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace.' It is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops.
Originally slated for release in April this year, the film was later postponed. The makers are yet to announce a revised release date.

Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai still plays at every wedding! 😄 And Jag Ghoomeya is such a soulful track. This movie has aged so well.
A true underdog story with a great message about second chances. And Anushka Sharma matched Salman's energy perfectly.👌
Honestly, I think this is one of those rare films where the commercial elements and emotional depth balanced perfectly. The wrestling scenes were top-notch. And looking forward to Maatrubhumi—hope the new title does justice to the real story.
Remember watching this in the theatre with my family — the atmosphere was electric! 🎬 Salman bhai's energy in the ring was unmatched. 10 years and still the love keeps growing. 💪
Such a motivating film! Sultan's journey from a small-town wrestler to a champion is so relatable for many of us. Just wish the second half didn't drag a bit, but overall it's a masterpiece. 🏆
