Salman Khan's upcoming action film, Sultan, will mark the debut of UFC Fighter Tyron Woodley and there are reports that the fighter will fight against Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, the star in the film.

Woodley, who is popularly known as The Chosen One, is going to face Bollywood superstar Khan in Sultan and apparently the fighter is very excited over the film. The 33-year-old fighter has been sharing information on his role in the Khan starrer on his official Twitter handle, and has also uploaded few pictures from the film's production days. In one of his earlier tweets, the fighter praised Khan's popularity in India and even called him God.

Woodley's role is now confirmed in the action-thriller film, but still, there are speculations about the full cast. Mstars News earlier reported that Bajirao Mastani star, Deepika Padukone was likely to appear in Khan-starrer, but nothing has been confirmed until now. According to Bollywood Hungama, Khan recommended 39-year-old Randeep Hooda, who is likely to play the role of Khan's wrestling coach in the film.

International Business Times reported that Sylvester Stallone and Sanjay Dutt's name were also mentioned in the past for some major roles in the film.

Khan starrer Sultan is directed by Ali Zafar, who previously directed films like Mere Brother ki Dulhan and Gunday. The film is slated to release on July 8, 2016.
