Another source:Post PK, Aamir Khan starts training to play wrestler in DANGAL
Mumbai: Aamir Khan, who must be enjoying the critical and commercial success of
PK, will now be seen in the avatar of a wrestler in a film titled
Dangal, reportedly. The film is to be directed by Nitesh Tiwary.
As the title suggested, the film will be based on wrestling competition. And if the reports are to be believed, the actor has already started preparation for his role by going through intensive training to don a bulky, muscled and rugged look and to build a wrestler's physique.
Spending about two hours at the gym, Aamir has reportedly hired an international trainer too to train him. However, the identity of the trainer has been kept under wraps.
But when Tiwary was approached and asked about the project, he decided to remain silent and said that he couldn't reveal any detail of the film yet.
Dangal is expected to go on the floors in 2015 and will most probably be releasing in the Christmas, next year.
Well, the kind of precision, Mr. Perfectionists shows with his every project, we're quite sure that this film too is going to make its mark well critically and commercially.
Meanwhile, Aamir starrer PK is going rock-steady at the Box-Office and has now crossed the 200 crore mark in just 9 days of its release.
With the remaining festive holidays and not facing a tough competition, no wonder the Rajkumar Hirani directorial may create a history of the first Bollywood film to cross the golden figure of Rs. 300 crore.
And another:AMAIR KHAN TO RUSH THROUGH HIS LESS THAN TWO HOURS NEXT FILM #DANGAL IN ORDER TO CAPTURE CHRISTMAS.
Aamir Khan had finally agreed to play a wrestler in Nitesh Tiwari's 'Dangal' being produced by UTV Motion Pictures. In Hindi, dangal ' means wrestling competition' and the actor will be going to Haryana to learn the Indian art of 'kushti'.
A source close to the production house reveals, "Now that 'PK' has released, Aamir will get busy with the post-release promotion to be followed by a small break. Once he's back from his break, he will start training for the film. The leading man and director have decided to rein in the length of the film, which will be under two hours."
The source adds that Khan wasn't excited by the script initially, so he took his time to decide on whether to do the film. It was only after Tiwari reworked the script that the actor said yes' to doing the film. Since the film will be short and crisp, the source mentions that there's a possibility that the film will release at the end of 2015. Don't be surprised if, a few months from now, you hear Aamir Khan is back during Christmas with another film.
