After he undergoes a full physical transformation to play the real-life wrestling champion Sultan Ali Khan in director Ali Abbas Zafar’s Sultan, Salman Khan will start work on his Haryanvi dialect. This is the first time Salman will be doing an accent and dialect and he wants to get it absolutely right.
Says a source, “A full-time Haryanvi coach has been employed for Salman. Around 25 Haryanvi tutors were interviewed for the job until Salman approved of a particular guy. This guy will be on the job all through the day and will accompany Salman through his various shooting schedules and media events. Salman will be learning and practising his Haryanvi diction and accent whenever and wherever he gets time.”
The language training begins after Salman completes his physical training. About the physical training a source informs, “Salman will be seen cultivating three body-types in Sultan. At the moment he is bulking up to look hefty for the scenes showing him indulging in mixed martial arts. He is undergoing extensive five-hour training with cardio, weight-training and stretching.”
