If you have had a look at
Aamir Khan lately, you know that he has gained a lot of weight for the role of wrestler
Mahavir Singh Phogat, which he would be playing in the upcoming biopic
Dangal.
However, we were yet to see the official first look of the movie, but the wait is finally over.
Aamir Khan has released the first look of the movie on his social media platforms, thereby allowing us a sneak peek into the character that he has gained almost 30 kgs for.
The poster shows Aamir Khan in a muddy avatar, as Phogat, a wrestler, used to practicing in an
akhara, a muddy wrestling-ground. He trained all his daughters and nieces in the same
akhara, making them win several medals in international tournaments.
In the biopic, we see Khan playing the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat, who trained his daughters
Geeta and
Babita in wrestling, which led them to win Gold and Silver medals, respectively, in the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in New Delhi. He also trained his niece
Vinesh, who went on to win gold in 2014 Commonwealth Games held in
Glasgow, and bronze at the 2014 Asian Games, held in
South Korea.
The movie also features popular television actress
Sakshi Tanwar as Phogat’s wife Daya Kaur, Fatima Sana Sheikh as
Geeta Phogat and
Sanya Malhotra as Babita Kumari. The movie has been directed by Nitesh Tiwari and has been produced by Walt Disney,
Siddharth Roy Kapur, and Aamir himself, along with wife
Kiran Rao.
The movie would release on 23
rd December in 2016. After
Taare Zameen Par,
Ghajini,
3 Idiots,
Dhoom 3, and
PK, this movie is also going to tap in the collections of the Christmas weekend.
