On the sets of Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’ along with Phogat family

Aamir Khan recently met with the entire Phogat family on the sets of his upcoming film, 'Dangal' in Ludhiana, Punjab. Since the film is based on the life of Mahavir Phogat, the former wrestler was present to witness the first shot along his daughters Geeta and Babita on Monday (September 21).

Not only did Aamir Khan undergo intense physical preparation to play the role of Mahavir Phogat, but also piled on the kilos, which we hear is close to 35. Unfortunately, the extra pounds are posing hazardous to the actor's health. Seen here, Aamir Khan seated with Mahavir Phogat.

Mahavir Phogat was given the honour during the first shot, while Aamir Khan seems engrossed in the scene. Aamir arrived in Ludhiana over a week ago. The shoot is said to be a long one in the Punjabi city. Also seen in the shot is TV actress Sakshi Tanwar who plays Aamir Khan's onscreen wife.

The team also celebrated with some sweets. Photographed here, Aamir Khan offers a laddoo to Mahavir Phogat.

After much speculation, it was finally revealed that Fatima Sana Shaikh will play the role of Aamir's onscreen daughter, Geeta Phogat. Television actress Sakshi Tanwar will be seen as his wife, Daya Kaur.

The entire 'Dangal' team smiles for a picture - director Nitesh Tiwari, Geeta Phogat, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao, Siddarth Roy Kapur, Sakshi Tanwar and Mahvir Phogat along with his family can be seen.
