Mumbai: Bollywood celebrities including Karan Johar, Anupam Kher and Subhash Ghai have praised superstar Salman Khan-starrer "Sultan", calling it a "huge blockbuster" and a "terrific" film.

Salman Khan Hit-&-run case: SC admits appeal against actor’s acquittal!

On Tuesday a group of tinsel town celebrities, including Daisy Shah, Nikhil Dwivedi, David Dhawan, Siddharth Roy Kapur and Divya Kumar Khosla were spotted at the Yash Raj Films Studios here.

Salman's rumoured Romanian girlfriend Iulia Vantur, whose recent public appearance with the superstar had sparked reports of their marriage, was also present.

"Sultan", directed by Abbas Ali Zafar, also stars Anushka Sharma, and releases on Wednesday.

The film sees Salman playing the role of a rustic wrestler from Haryana who goes on to win medals for the country, but loses his way after that.

The plot revolves around how he reinvents his wrestler streak in mixed martial arts.

Here's what the stars had to say about the film:
