Here's proof: Anushka Sharma's 'Sultan' teaser copied from an ad on Geeta Phogat's life!

After Salman Khan, the Sultan teaser featuring Anushka Sharma too has been unveiled and it created a storm on the digital network. Releasing it on Anushka's birthday was a master-stroke but like they say, all good things aren't always just that. 

We have got proof that the Anushka teaser which introduces her Sultan character - that of wrestler Aarfa - has been simply copied. Yes, the teaser has been copied from an ad featuring the famous Indian wrestler Geeta Phogat. Don't believe us?

Well here's the teaser of Sultan featuring Anushka.

And here's the advertisement we are talking about.

Now, compare the two and you will have your answer. Like the ad, the Sultan teaser too begins on a note of women empowerment and celebrating their inner strengths and captures the journey of an ordinary Indian girl who not only finishes her daily duties at home but also trains hard and works on her strength to show the world that she's a woman of steel. 

The Haryanvi lines in the teaser, mouthed by Salman Khan also sounds interestingly similar to the background lines in the ad. We definitely loved Anushka in the teaser but now that this has been established that the teaser is almost scene-by-scene lifted from this ad, we wonder what the fans will have to say now! 

Also, Aamir Khan is making a film on the life of Mahavir Phogat - Geeta's father where Geeta's journey too will be shown in full glory. But ever since they started shooting, everyone knew Dangal is a biopic whereas the makers of Sultan always maintained that their film is a fictionalised story and has no resemblance to anyone in real. We are waiting to hear what the makers will reply to this.
