About Salman Khan
Salman Khan is Tiger, the agent at the heart of Kabir Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger (15 August 2012), which Yash Raj Films followed with Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Tiger 3 (2023).
On screen
In Sultan (2016) he plays Sultan Ali Khan, a small-town wrestling champion who dreams of the Olympics, opposite Anushka Sharma. Earlier comedies on the Yash Raj Films site include David Dhawan’s Biwi No. 1 (1999) and Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge (2000).
Our advice: watch the three Tiger films in order.
Sultan is, in Yash Raj Films’ words, a classic underdog tale about a wrestler’s comeback.
