Ever since we learned that Salman Khan is teaming up with his "Maine Pyar Kiya" director Sooraj Barjatya for "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo," speculations have been rife about his role.

While one would have expected him to do yet another family-oriented "sanskari" role, seems things are a little twisted this time.

Even though the stills of the film shows him wearing dhoti-kurta, insiders tip that he is playing a boxer in the film.You know the Muhammad Ali type!

That's right! Salman Khan returns in double roles (apparently his first after “Judwaa”) in PRDP. And while one of his characters is a traditional dhoti-kurta clad guy, the other is that of a raging boxer. Now that's a truly double treat, isn't it?

Expect “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” to be a typical Barjatya fare, replete with values, family ties and relationships.

The movie pitches Sonam Kapoor opposite Salman, while Neil Nitin Mukesh plays the baddie here.
