Vivan Bhatena is the baddie in Aamir Khan's 'Dangal'

'Dangal' will be releasing in 2016.

Television actor Vivan Bhatena would be seen playing a grey character in Aamir Khan's Dangal.

Vivan, 37, was last seen in Salman Khan's home production film Hero as a villain. "I am doing Dangal with Aamir Khan. Its (role) kind of (negative) character, but I can't reveal much. I have finished one scene with him (Aamir) and have a couple of more scenes to finish. I am playing a wrestler (for which) I have to put on weight. I have to gain ten kilos with muscles," Vivan said.

The actor further said, "He (Aamir) is going to lose weight, he would come in shape. He is doing a lot of things. We have a month of akhada (wrestling arena) training with actual wrestlers. We have to get our Haryanvi diction right. I would go back to shoot for the film in June.

Vivan, who has been part of shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi andKumkum, is happy with the response he is getting for his work.

"I got a lot of acclaim for Hero. It was gratifying. Aamir praised my work inKatti Batti, which was overwhelming. I hope I keep getting good work. I am trying to pitch myself as a negative hero. I want that space," he said.

The Chak De! India actor reveals he was going to be part of director Vikramaditya Motwane's next film Bhavesh Joshi but the movie got shelved.

"I was going to do Vikramaditya Motwane's Bhavesh Joshi, that is shelved for the time being." Vivan, who is also one of the participants on season 7 of game/dare based reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi said he is very excited about it and will give his best shot.
