Is Aamir Making Dangal 2 With Vinesh Phogat?

A
viral
photograph
of
Aamir
Khan
speaking
to
wrestler
Vinesh
Phogat
over
a
video
call
has
led
to
speculation
that
he
is
all
set
to
make

Dangal
2.

Aamir
had
called
Vinesh
to
congratulate
her
for
her
performance
at
the
Paris
Olympics.

His
2016
film

Dangal,
about
Vinesh’s
cousins,
Geeta
and
Babita,
had
been
a
blockbuster
at
the
box
office.

‘I
think
the
biggest
way
I
could
promote
the
Phogat
sisters
and
(their
father)
Mahavir
Phogat
was
by
making
a
film
on
them.
And
that
is
what
I
have
done,’
Aamir
had
said
then.

Geeta
and
Babita
Phogat
won
the
country’s
first
medals
in
women’s
wrestling
at
the
2010
Commonwealth
Games.

Vinesh
reached
the
Olympic
2024
final
in
women’s
freestyle
wrestling
in
the
50kg
category,
but
was
disqualified
after
she
was
discovered
to
be
100
gm
overweight
before
the
final
bout.

There’s
chatter
that
Vinesh
may
contest
the
assembly
election
in
her
native
Haryana
as
a
Congress
candidate.

Again,
would
Aamir
—
whose
last
two
movies
have
sunk
at
the
box
office
—
want
to
make
another
wrestling
movie?
