Rumours about Salman Khan’s Sultan are flying thick and fast. The latest one has Anushka Sharma planting a resounding slap on Salman’s cheek, with the spunky girl supposedly preparing for weeks to land that perfect thappad.

Well, that’s all it is. Just a rumour. A reliable source from the sets confirms that the film won’t feature a slap. “Anushka doesn’t slap Salman Bhai at any point in the film. We don’t know where this buzz started. Like many of the rumours floating around about Sultan this is a part of the mythology being built by Salman’s fans for his wrestler’s part.”

According to the source, Anushka plays a wrestler in the film. “But she is not seen in any kind of conflict wth Salman outside the wrestling ring. And slapping ka toh koi sawaal hi nahin paida hota.Who would dare to slap Bhai?”
