On January 5, Salman Khan returned from his birthday and New Year's celebration to begin work onSultan again. The director Ali Abbas Zafar is all set to shoot some seriously intricate wrestling scenes with Salman.

Says a source close to Sultan, "The scenes require intense concentration. This is why Salman chose to first unwind and relax over his birthday and new-year weekend before plunging into them."

Sources say the fights in the ring are going to be absolutely original and unlike anything Salman has attempted before. "The crew is focusing only on these scenes at the moment. Salman won't require to shoot with a leading lady until the end of the month. So no call is being taken on the selection of the leading lady until the third week of January," says the source.
