Superstar Salman Khan is elated that his admirers liked his stint as a wrestler in his latest release "Sultan".

The Ali Abbas Zafar-directed movie, which released on Eid, is about a man, who finds his metier rather late in life, propelled by his love for a female wrestler (Anushka Sharma) who has no doubts about what she wants to do with herself.

"Thx for appreciating sultan" he wrote on his Twitter account.

The "Dabangg" star also mentioned about his IIFA 2016 performance. Salman performed after a gap of four years at International Indian Film Academy awards.

"Wld u want to watch my performance on #iifa tonite. sm thing like this.." he continued in his tweet.

Salman-starrer cross-border drama "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" won the best picture of the year award at the ceremony.
