Aamir Khan, who learned wrestling for his role as Mahavir
Singh Phogat in his next movie Dangal, openly confessed that learning the sport
changed his stance towards wrestling and wrestlers.
During a media communication, Aamir told, ''I always had
this thought that wrestlers are all brawn and no brain, but learning wrestling
for this film really changed my perspective about the sport and the players
involved in it. I realised that in wrestling, one has to be sharp and
intelligent with quick reflexes. When you are on the wrestling mat or the
akhada, you should be quick enough to gauge what move your opponent will make
and how to counter it within a second. Unless you are a quick thinker with good
reflexes and a razor-sharp brain, you cannot be a good wrestler.''
Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, Dangal is scheduled to release this
weekend.
