    Sylvester Stallone offers ‘Expendables’ to Salman Khan

    MUMBAI: Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone has offered Salman Khan the next Expendables movie.

     

    In a series of tweets, Salman Khan said that Stallone was his hero. Revealing that he still worked out while listening to ‘The Eye of The Tiger,’ Khan said, “Agar kisi ko follow karna hai? Bahar ka… inko follow karo @TheSlyStallone Aapke Hero ka hero Sylvester Stallone.” (If you want to follow someone? From outside… follow him @TheSlyStallone Your Hero’s Hero Sylvester Stallone.)

     

    What’s more, Stallone who is known for his action packed movies replied to Khan by tweeting, “Would like to thank the super talented Indian superstar SALMAN KHAN the Compliment he Tweeted! We should do an ACTION FILM together!”

     

    Stallone went on to add, “Thanks my friend! You have BIG heart! Big talent! Big future! KEEP PUNCHING, SALMAN! Your friend Sly Stallone.”

     

    Further talking about how he was impressed with Khan’s ardent fan following, Stallone tweeted, “Salman, I am very impressed with your many devoted fans. To make a great Action film Sucessful takes MANY great fans who support you, Sly (sic).”

     

    What took the cake and almost broke the Internet was Stallone’s last tweet, in which he hinted at Khan being a part of his successful film franchise The Expendables. “Maybe the New EXPENDABLES,” Stallone tweeted.

     

    It now remains to be seen whether Khan takes up on the offer by Stallone.
