In Today's Dose Of Crazy: Pahalwans Worshipping Salman Khan

Is it a wrestler? Is it a god? It's Salman Khan!

Whenever Bhai ka picture releases, people go slightly nuts. Nobody really knows why, but that is just the way it is.

Sultan, starring Salman Khan, released on 6 July and is steadily moving towards the Rs 300-crore collections club. Meanwhile, the verdict on the chinkaras and blackbuck poaching cases acquitted Bhai thus proving once again that nothing can affect a Bhai ka picture.

Joining the madness is now a group of pahalwans from an akhara in Kanpur. Regardless of your having or not having watched Sultan, you probably know that it focuses on the life of a former wrestler and his long road back to recognition. Taking a cue from the film, the pahalwans in Kanpur have decided to get back in shape, as reported by ANI.
