Mohammad Sabir Ansari alias Sabir Baba, a resident of Muzaffarpur, in a complaint filed in the chief judicial magistrate’s court on July 8, contended that Salman Khan, the lead actor of Sultan had promised to give him Rs 20 crores as royalty for making a film based on his life.

His counsel Sudhir Kumar Ojha said that Mr Sabir had narrated his story to Mr Khan in Mumbai in 2010 and the actor then promised the remuneration if a film was made based on it.

The case came up for hearing on Tuesday before the chief judicial magistrate, Muzaffarpur, Ram Chandra Prasad, who transferred it to the court of Judicial Magistrate First Class, S K Tripathi and fixed July 26, 2016 as the next date of hearing.

The case has been filed under various sections of IPC including 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 406 (punishment for criminal breach of trust), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation).

“Getting Salman Khan‘s fans to tell you, ‘I am your fan too’ is a big deal because they are the most loyal fans. All the three Khans have such loyal fans. I feel very special. I think you want your work to be noticed and appreciated and for it to happen in a film like Sultan and with a megastar like Salman, I feel very happy,” Anushka told PTI.

The appreciation is more special for Anushka because she considers the Ali Abbas Zafar-directed film her most challenging project ever.

The actress said she feels her “robot” style of working to get the physical transformation and hard work on understanding the thought process of Aarfa have paid off.

“Sultan has been my most difficult film till now. It was challenging for me physically and emotionally it was tough. I had to understand the emotions and maturity that probably I don’t possess in me right now. Also, learning a sport, changing my body type and waking up early in the morning, going for training and then learning wrestling. I was working like a robot. But today when I am getting this kind of appreciation from people I feel grateful. All the love people are giving me because of the film, is special. I feel all the hard work has paid off,” she said.

Details of Lisa’s role in filmmaker Karan Johar‘s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, are shrouded in secrecy.

Lisa also said that she was shy around Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is also a part of the film.

“I was shy around Aishwarya because of her beauty, poise and general awesomeness. Anushka is completely straightforward, professional and easy to work with. And Ranbir is cool. It was a good laugh doing this character with him,” Lisa told IANS in an email interview from Mumbai.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is scheduled to release on October 28. Lisa did not disclose details about her role. “I got a real kick out of playing this character. I think that is all I should share,” she said.

For now, Lisa is co-judging India’s Next Top Model with celebrity photographer Dabboo Ratnani while VJ Anusha Dandekar and grooming expert Neeraj Gaba will be the mentors of the contestants.

On what basis will she pick the contestants?

“It takes a lot more than beauty to be successful,” Lisa said, adding that the “winner will have to be hard working, determined, creative, know how to apply constructive criticism and think on their feet.”

In the late hours of Monday, we spotted the couple outside Yash Raj Studios where a screening had been arranged.

Although the film released on July 6, the screening was planned two days in advance since he is likely to fly out of the country this week for India’s upcoming tour of the West Indies.

“Virat had been training in Bangalore for the upcoming tournament. He flew down to Mumbai for a few hours just to be present at the screening of Anushka’s film,” says a source, adding that the actress was keen to show her latest film to him since she is playing a wrestler for the first time on screen.

Anushka’s family also turned up at the screening to cheer for her. Her brother, Karnesh, was seen exiting with the couple at 1 am after the movie. There was no other celeb from the film industry. When media photographers got wind of the two watching the film, they waited outside the studio for hours to snap them.

“The media was expecting Anushka and Virat to step out of the back door and was stationed there, but the duo decided to trick them by exiting from the main entry. Eventually, they ended up being photographed in the car,” adds the source.

But while the character’s canny moves make him a fighter to fear and catapult him to the top of his sport, Salman spouts many earthy homilies all through Sultan.

These lines are not aimed only at giving the superstar a larger-than-life aura. They also serve to define the character of the never-say-die grappler Sultan Ali Khan.

Sultan’s Top 10:

“A wrestler is not known by what he does in the ring, but by how he fares in life,” Sultan declares at a crucial point of his evolution.

“I am a rare human being,” he says, when Aarfa (Anushka Sharma), the woman he is in love with, reveals to him that his blood group – O negative – is so rare that it accounts for only one per cent of the entire Asian population.

“You remind me of Rani Laxmibai. You are modern on the outside but desi at heart,” Sultan compliments Aarfa when she explains why she became a wrestler and returned to the village despite being educated in Delhi.

“My father says that a farmer and a wrestler have one thing in common – it’s the soil,” says Sultan.

Sultan’s philosophy as a wrestler is unambiguous. “This fight is for myself, this fight is to change my lot in life.”

Cocky he might be, but Sultan is quick to give credit where it is due. “Today Sultan is Sultan solely because of you,” he admits to his no-nonsense wife.

“This is not arrogance, it is confidence,” Sultan declares when his wife berates him for forgetting his roots.

“We do not divorce, we bicker, we fight. Wives are born fighters,” he says when a nosey journalist asks Sultan if he is in the process of separating from his wife.

“I’ve come here to make money but I am no Superman,” Sultan says after watching a video of a mixed martial arts fight and baulks at the prospect of confronting the pros in an unfamiliar sport.

“I’ve quit wrestling but I haven’t lost my fighting skills. I am still alive,” he tells his coach Fateh Singh (Randeep Hooda) when the latter doubts his ability to make a comeback.
