Farzana Cama Balpande, Head of BookASmile initiative, said, "Sultan is a story about true sportsman spirit and an attitude that teaches you to never give up in life. We instantly felt that a movie like this will be an enriching experience for the children. To make this screening unforgettable, we requested Salman Khan to surprise the kids, to which he graciously agreed. The children were absolutely thrilled to meet him and this made their day even more memorable."
