He asked what was the point in appointing a Goodwill Ambassador, and exactly what work would that person have. Yogeshwar went on to blast Salman's appointment as it seemed to be for the promotion of his upcoming film. Salman is playing the role of a wrestler in the movie Sultan which is set for a release in July.
