According to a report in DNA, a source said, “While Salman would be seen playing the 30-plus Sultan, it was felt by the producers that Amit would be a suitable candidate to play the younger avatar of the wrestler. Physically, he is very similar to Khan. Also they have similar facial features – big eyes and broad face – so it is actually quite a genius casting.”
