What if these Salman Khan characters entered the Olympics?

by   Sonal PandyaMaya Ashvin

With the world's greatest sporting event set to begin, we imagine what would happen if Prem, Devil and Chulbul Pandey, avatars of the Indian Olympic Association's controversial Games ambassador, were to participate.

1 Kick (2014)

Wanting an extra 'kick' in life, Devi Lal Singh aka Devil could represent India in cycling in his all-black attire complete with superhero mask. He would definitely have the edge in the individual sprints.

2 Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015)

The prince of Pritampur, Yuvraj Vijay Singh, would show up for football matches in his royal white sherwani.

3 Veer (2010)

Another prince, Veer Pratap Singh, would suit up to take on the eventing, dressage and jumping disciplines of the individual equestrian competition.

4 Bodyguard (2011)

Meanwhile, Lovely Singh would have his sights on the target. Of course, no live animals will be harmed as clay targets replaced pigeons in 1900.

5 Dabangg (2010)

With Dipa Karmakar a medal hope in women's gymnastics, Chulbul Pandey could strengthen India's presence in men's gymnastics with his unorthodox techniques and one-of-a-kind look, sunglasses and all.

6 Sultan (2016)

Sultan Ali Khan, of course, echoes the life of most Olympic athletes, moving from a small town in Haryana to the world stage in wrestling.
