Fresh from the corridors of Yash Raj Films is this scintillating piece of news- Sultan's producers are in advance talks with Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone to play Salman Khan's trainer in the wrestling-drama.
A highly-placed source told SpotboyE.com that Salman wants the Hollywood actor to do the role and talks have already been initiated with the actor's agents in LA.
Any hitch? A source says, "Sly doesn't want to be reduced to a decorative prop the way he was in Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambakkht Ishq. Unless and until he is sure that his role in the film makes sense, he will not sign on the dotted line."
So what will Sly play? "He will play a veteran wrestler who brings Sallu back into the ring after a brief pause in Sultan's career."
SpotboyE also has it that Salman is a big fan of Sly's Rocky series and has put in all resources to ensure that the deal with Sly is sealed. The two had even exchanged tweets claiming to admire the other's work (Salman And Sylvester Stallone To Do A Film?,May 22). And looks like all that is bearing fruit.
Incidentally, Sly's close friend Arnold Schwarzenegger will be making his debut opposite Rajinikanth in Robot 2.
