Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan’s heartwarming Eid celebrations
Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan celebrate Eid with family, sharing precious moments despite divorce. Azad joins in the festivities, spreading warmth and joy.
Aamir Khan was present at a promotional event for his film Dangal on Monday. The makers of the film chose this moment to launch a making video showcasing Amir’s transformation from fat to fit. The actor plays the role of former wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat in his upcoming flick.
Aamir interacted with the media and shared his experience of how he gained weight and then worked hard to become fit.
The film shows the two phases of Mahavir Phogat. The older version had to weigh around 95 kg on the contrary the younger version had to weigh not more than 75 kg.
For 80 per cent of the movie, Aamir had to play the older version of Phogat and thus, he chose to shoot that part first.
In the beginning of the video Aamir is fat and bulky with 38% body fat. This was easy and fun for him but this hampered his wrestling training. He said, “Being bulky made it difficult to move during the training.”
The actor suffered from breathing issues and had multiple injuries while wrestling in that gigantic body structure.
After filming for the older bit, Aamir started to work on building his physique like a wrestler and underwent training. He followed a rigorous fitness regime along with long hours of work out to get into shape in less than 6 months, weighing 70 kgs with 9 per cent body fat.
The initial phase was very strenuous. With a lot of hard work and dedication, the Dangal actor made it to the desired look.
The filmmakers appreciated his efforts and said, “Looking at the kind of effort, blood and sweat that Aamir Khan has put in for the character of Mahavir Singh Phogat, we feel the actor has done a phenomenal job.”
The film is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and will hit the big screen on December 23.
