The shooting of Aamir Khan starrer ‘Dangal’ will begin in Ludhiana on September 20, 2015. ‘Dangal’, one of the most awaited films of 2016, is based on the real-life of Mahavir Singh Phogat, who taught wrestling to his two daughters, Geeta and Babita, who later won medals for India at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
However, Aamir Khan had to put on a lot of weight for essaying the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat. Now the actor’s weight has exceeded 90 kgs, which has his family worried, as he is having difficulty in breathing and walking.
It has also been reported that Aamir will also have to lose weight during the shoot, to play the younger Mahavir Singh Phogat. TV actress Sakshi Tanwar has been cast to play his on-screen wife in Dangal.
Dangal will be Aamir’s first movie after PK (2014), which starred Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput.
Hard work, grit and determination are what we associate most with actor Aamir Khan. He always goes the extra mile to make his on-screen character look real. For Mangal Pandey the rising, he grew a handlebar moustache, for Lagaan, he lost loads of weight to look like a poor farmer, for Ghajini, he built 8 pack abs and now has put on 90 plus kg weight for Dangal. Perhaps that’s why everybody cannot be Aamir Khan.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film stars Aamir, Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Saikh and Sanya Malhotra. It is scheduled for release on Christmas next year.
