Salman Khan generally plays "himself" in all his films.

So, the current stint of shooting for his upcoming film, 'Sultan', is proving to be a nightmare for the star.

The actor has been filming an elaborate fight sequence in a boxing ring.

For the real feel, Sallu has been battling with punches as the makers want the star to do something he has not done for a long time - to get into the character of a boxer.

Allu will be spending this month getting his moves right for an adrenaline-pumping action sequence.
