Salman Khan, who is ready to make this Eid special for fans with 'Sultan,' has revealed that he wishes to play hero on screen as he "cannot play it in real life."

In a recent report by DNA, the 50-year-old actor was quoted as saying, "I don't want to be a villain. I believe in entertaining the audience. I like playing the hero, a good man who's memory people carry back home."

"If I cannot play it in real life, at least I can play such a man on screen," he added.

The 'Dabangg' actor, who recently landed in a soup for his 'raped woman' analogy, further said that he wants to do inspiring stories for the youth to be "strong, become men and gladiators in real life."

"That subconscious training is almost like an education," added Salman.
