Sultan release date confirmed - 5 day weekend

Salman Khan starrer Sultan is easily one of the most awaited films of the year. For a while we have known that the film will release in July over Eid, the final release date has now been confirmed.

Since Eid falls on Wednesday, 6th July, the film will be releasing on the same day. With this, the film will now enjoy a five day weekend.

Earlier, Salman's Ek Tha Tiger too enjoyed a similar weekend in August. Naturally, with this setting, the film is expected to make huge business at the box office.

The film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, features Salman in the role of a Haryanvi wrestler by the name of Sultan Khan. The film also stars Anushka Sharma and Randeep Hooda in leading roles.

Sultan is being produced by Yash Raj Films and hence a wide release can be confirmed, which means the film is expected to fetch a huge business.

It has already been declared to be tax free in UP where the film's final schedule is being shot currently.
