Aamir Khan would rehearse each scene 120 times, recalls his Dangal co-star

Shishir Sharma recalled that before him, his mother Shashi Sharma had worked with Aamir Khan in Talaash. When Shashi was working with him, she reminded the Lagaan actor that she had even worked with Aamir’s father in a play called Kabuliwala. “He got stumped. After the film, he sent 2-3 boxes of mangoes to our house,” Shishir shared. The actor reminded Aamir of this incident on the sets of Dangal and that proved to be an icebreaker of sorts between the two. “After that it was friends. There was professionalism on set but off the set… When you have people who call you by your first name, just goes to show that there is a certain amount of connection between the two,” Shishir shared.

Dangal was the biggest hit of Hindi cinema until recently. The film earned over Rs 1000 crore globally. Now, this record belongs to Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan.

Aamir Khan was last seen in 2022’s Laal Singh Chadha, which did not fare well at the box office. The actor is yet to announce his next film.
