Dangal was the best birthday gift, says Shabana Azmi.
There is a good news for all movie buffs who are eagerly waiting for the release of the next Aamir Khan movie Dangal. A selected few who were invited by the actor and his wife for the screening of Nitesh Tiwari’s biopic of ace wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat has given a thumbs up for the movie, which many said will cross the collection records of Salman starrer Sultan.
Even though the release of the movie is set for December, the post production works are over and the film is ready. According to reports coming from the B-town, Aamir has moved on to his next project The Thugs Of Hindostan on September 18.
Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan is now a relaxed man after making heavy-duty physical changes for the movie and is now all set to rock the silver screen when ‘Dangal’ releases this December.
The actor along with his wife held the first screening of Dangal on Sunday for around 20 handpicked guests including his best friends in the B-town Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar. The screening was held on the occasion of Shabana’s birthday.
“Dangal is brilliant. Another blockbuster from Aamir, It is beautifully scripted with very convincing performances. The girls are wonderful and it’s Aamir’s best performance to date. The gender politics are so relevant for the times and the unexpected climax will make even the most hardened heart cry. It is emotional without being sentimental. It’s hundred percent winner,” Shabana was quoted saying.
She also added that watching Dangal was the best birthday gift.
In Dangal, Aamir Khan portrays the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat who thought wrestling to his daughters Babita Kumari and Geeta Phogat. He will be seen playing both younger and older characters of Phogat in the film, and he had put on weight up to 95 kg to play the older part and is currently in the process of bringing it down to around 70 kg.
