If sources are to believed, then Amit Sadh, who catapulted to fame with his performance as a reluctant Hindu extremist in Kai Po Che!, will play the younger version of Salman Khan in director Ali Abbas Zafar’s Sultan.

Says a source in the know, “While Salman would be seen playing the 30-plus avatar of his character, it was felt that Amit Sadh was a suitable candidate for the actor's younger portion.”

The makers of Sultan have apparently noticed a passing resemblance between Salman and Amit.

Meanwhile, Dabangg Khan has already started shooting for Sultan, which is set to the hit the theatres next Eid.

The makers are yet to finalise the leading lady for their film.
