While there were plenty of rumours that Salman Khan's Sultan was all set to get a sequel, director Ali Abbas Zafar has clarified that this isn't so. "There is no plan to make a sequel to Sultan. With the kind of love it has got from the audience, I don’t think I would like to tamper that till the time I find a story that is more evolved than this. Coz it’s a sports film. It is very important that you need to have a philosophy. And the philosophy here was that wrestling is not just a sport; it is about fighting what lies within. And that is what the character goes through in Sultan. So till the time I find something larger than the character can go through it is not going to be rewritten or made into a sequel,” he said.
