The actor gained 28 kgs in a span of five months for his role in Dangal.
Aamir Khan’s shocking transformation for Dangal has become the talk of the town. Aamir Khan last impressed the masses with his alien act in Rajkumar Hirani’s PK. Soon after this, the Perfectionist Khan went on a weight gain spree for Nitesh Tiwari’s Dangal, which depicts Khan as a 55 year-old wrestler. The film is based on Mahavir Phogat, father of Indian women wrestlers Geeta and Babita Kumari Phogat. And given Khan’s perfectionist nature, he went all out to get the look right.
However, this ain’t the first time when Aamir has experimented with his look. In the past as well, we have seen him bulk up and lose weight for his onscreen avatars.
