Salman Khan is playing double role in in 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'. But mystery shrouds over the characters he is playing in the upcoming Sooraj Barjatya film.

Earlier a dhoti-clad picture of Salman on the sets of the film was revealed. Now the latest buzz is that the 'Kick' actor is playing the role of a boxer in his film.

Grapevine suggests that Salman will play two opposite characters – 'Prem' will be sweet and soft spoken, while 'Ratan' will be a temperamental boxer. But now the report is said to be wrong as Salman will not play the character of a boxer. Apparently 'Dabangg' Khan will be be seen boxing in one scene only.

Reports suggest that Salman Khan will reprise his debonair avatar of 'Prem' in the movie, but his dual character will not be called Ratan.

Apparently, the two characters of Salman Khan will be called Prem and Vijay. The characer of Prem will be calm and composed, while Vijay will be his opposite – aggressive and temperamental.

Sonam Kapoor will play the female lead. Sonam will be seen opposite Salman Khan for the first time in Bollywood.

The fil also features Neil Nitin Mukesh and Armaan Kohli in pivotal roles.

'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' will release in Diwali 2015.
