Inspired by Sultans trailer, Sushil Kumar to switch to boxing

Over the last few days, there has been a raging debate on which wrestler should represent India in the 74 kg wrestling event at the Rio Olympics. While Sushil Kumar, India's double Olympics medalist is demanding a trial and the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) not keen on holding a trial, it seems that Salman Khan starrer movie Sultan has come to rescue.

The trailer shows Salman playing the role of Sultan Ali Khan, a wrestler who wins an Olympic medal for the country in wrestling but later faces personal and professional problems forcing him to leave the sport only to come back and play boxing.

WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh seemed relieved with the development. "Salman Khan has come to our rescue in this tussle between WFI and Sushil Kumar. We always knew Bhai is the perfect choice for the goodwill ambassador of Rio Olympics. Bhai Roxx!"

The move by Sushil Kumar to switch to boxing will also help in increasing the boxing contingent at the Rio Games since only one boxer has been able to qualify for the Olympics so far, as compared to eight boxers last time.

The final word on the matter was delivered by wrestler turned boxer Sushil Kumar himself. "Manne pehelwani zaroor chhodi hai, par ladna nahi bhoola!"
