Salman Khan found losing weight after Sultan to be a painful experience

Salman Khan says it is not easy to lose and gain weigh for films as he prepares to do it again for Tiger Zinda Hai and Remo D’Souza’s dance film.

Superstar Salman Khan, who had put on weight for his role of a wrestler in his last outing Sultan, says the physical transformation from fat-to-fit was a painful experience.

In the film, Salman’s character Sultan was seen ageing from a young Haryana wrestler to an older man, for which he had to gain several kilos.

“There is a lot of pain in undergoing physical transformation. I have been training for Tiger Zinda Hai and there is another film that I am training - it’s a dance film (referring to Remo D’Souza film). For Sultan, I was 96 kgs. I have shed 18-20 kgs,” Salman told reporters here last night.

The 51-year-old actor was speaking at the Zee Cine Awards held here last night.
