Aamir features as both the younger and the middle-aged version of Mahaveer Singh Phogat in the film. The actor gained 25 kilos to suit his character of the older Phogat who was a former wrestling champion himself. NDTV reported that Aamir was eager to gift Geeta her wedding outfit, which is usually presented by the uncle of the bride, but Geeta insisted that the Khan’s presence at the wedding was enough.

No, I am not exaggerating anything. Once the film releases, the audience will understand. I have been working in the industry for last 25 years, but these kids are highly talented.” Child actors Suhani Bhatnagar and Zaira Wasim feature as the young Phogat girls in Dangal.
