‘Dangal’ is shaping up nicely, says director Nitesh Tiwari

A special screening of ‘Star Wars: the Force Awakens’ had the presence of filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari, who talked about his upcoming film ‘Dangal’. Actor Aamir Khan, who plays the lead in the film, was also present.

“It’s shaping up quite nicely.”- said Tiwari, when asked about the film.

Aamir will be seen playing the role of Mahavir Singh, a former wrestler. The actor had to undergo a massive weight-gain procedure in order to achieve the desired look. After completing the first part of the shoot which took place at places of Punjab & Pune, the actor flew to the USA with his fitness consultant to get back to his previous shape which the other half of the film demanded him to.

“Aamir will loose weight very soon. I think when the next schedule starts, He’s going to go back to his earlier weight which is like in ‘Ghajini’ or ‘PK’. Right now he’s clearly overweight”-Tiwari also stated. Aamir, reportedly, weighed 95 kilos, a few months back.

‘Danga;’ has been jointly produced by Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao and Siddharth Roy Kapur.
