Here is the one more reason to be happy for Salman khan's fans. As Tubelight hit the theatres and Sultan which was shortlisted to compete at the Shanghai International Film Festival has now won the Best Action Movie Award at the film festival.

The director Ali Abbas Zafar to this stated, “We are very happy with all the love and respect we got at SIFF. Receiving an award under the action category from Jackie Chan is just super special. As a child he has been one of the most inspiring action stars for me and many Indians. Sultan is about desi, Indian wrestling and it’s raw power. Amidst a selection of brilliant action films that present the most refined martial arts, the film’s win is rewarding, and reflects that a good story based in action has universal appeal.”

Zafar had earlier said, "As a film, 'Sultan' is a home-grown story of a fighter and an underdog rooted in our country's soil. The film's action reflects this and has won popular opinion over in India. That China, a nation with a proud legacy of cinema and a priceless heritage of classic action and martial arts, has found it suitable to feature in an action competition section is a huge gratification to us."
