The '3 Idiots' star, who was seen in a beefed up look at events till now, has started the exercise to lose weight to shoot some portions of 'Dangal'.

After putting on huge weight for Dangal, the next big challenge for superstar Aamir Khan is to shed extra kilos and get into shape "like wrestler Sushil Kumar" to shoot some parts of the film.

In the Nitesh Tiwari-helmed sports drama, Aamir portrays the role of a Haryana-based wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, who taught wrestling to his daughters, Babita Kumari and Geeta Phogat.

"I have put on weight for Dangal and have to reduce it as well. I am a national level wrestler like Sushil Kumar ji. I had to put on 25 kgs, so have to now reduce 25 kgs and not just that make it look like Sushil Kumar...muscular, low-fat," Aamir told reporters here at the press conference of 10-year celebration of filmRang De Basanti.

The 3 Idiots star, who was seen in a beefed up look at events till now, has started the exercise to lose weight to shoot some portions of Dangal.

"The phase of being overweight and elderly is about to get over. The process has started and my weight has started reducing now...I have started losing weight. My big challenge is to come back into shape like how my body was inGhajini or Dhoom 3," he said.

The 50-year-old actor said shooting ofDangal is almost 90% over.

The upcoming biographical sports drama is scheduled to release on December 23.

Damn! That is hard, very hard.

First gaining weight that too in muscle. Bulking up is one thing but gaining 25 kg is another. Adding that amount is a lot. If you are not careful, it can really mess you up.

And now losing all those 25 kg; while maintaining/ building the muscles with a low body fat percentage. Its going to take a hell of effort and months of dedication on his part. I have done so and trust me, its take a lot to be able to achieve the goal.

The difference in looks will be drastic. Something I am really looking forward to; how he will portray onscreen. This looks set to be a top contender if not a lock for the performance of 2016.

I do hope that the movie is a gem and he and the team are rewarded for the all the hard-work they have put in.
