Amir Khan┬Тs physical transformative journey for his movie Dangal has been noticeable by all. Pradip Bhandari, the CEO and Founder of Jan Ki Baat, helps us see Amir Khan┬Тs exercise routine before and during the making of the film. Khan says that 80% of Dangal required the healthier version of him, where he weighed 95+ kg and 38% body fat. Amir says he chose to shoot the latter part of life of Mahavir Phogat, the character he┬Тs playing; the younger, fitter version of Amir then would be shot later, motivating him to lose weight. The former part of the movie has the fit actor with 9.6% body fat. Wrestling and training weren┬Тt the only issues that Amir encountered. Even breathing had slowed down when Amir Khan gained more weight. His trainer spoke of his diet plans and the plan┬Тs oscillation during different phases of the film, hinting at the well-planned out nature of characters as well as actors.
Dangal, to be realised in December 2016, dramatizes the Phogat sister┬Тs arrival into Indian wrestling scene. Narrating Mahavir Phogat┬Тs struggle to encourage his daughters to become wrestlers and the obstacles that he and his daughters encounter, forms the primary content of Dangal.
Amir┬Тs rejecting the director┬Тs suggestion of wearing a bodysuit implies on his work ethic, aimed at him being able to faithfully deliver a realist rendition of the Phogat family. Nitesh Tiwari┬Тs praising Amir is justified when one gets a glimpse at how Amir conducts himself as an actor and the rigorous physical as well as mental labour he puts himself through.
