Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has said that he will not be going on his friend Salman Khan’s popular show Bigg Boss to promote his upcoming film, Dangal.
“I am not going on television to promote the film. We will have trailer and promo of our film,” Khan said to a question about the move.
“I am sure he loves to promote my film. Even I love to promote his film. I am dying to show him Dangal as well,” Khan, who plays wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat in the movie, added.
Salman played a wrestler in his recent film Sultan, and Khan was asked if he discussed the sport with the actor before shooting.
Khan said, “No I did not discuss [anything]. We had our coach, Kripa Shankar Singh, to train us, he has contributed immensely to our film.”
In the upcoming biographical film Dangal, Khan, 51, will be seen sporting two looks: one lean and muscular, and the other a bulky.
During the promotions of Sultan, Salman had said that he told Khan not to get a six pack when playing the wrestler.
“There are different kinds of wrestlers. Like in a akhada [ring] you will see a wrestler who does mud fighting and is huge and has a paunch. But then there is Sushil Kumar [wrestler] who has a six pack and he is fit. Even Geeta and Babita [women wrestlers] are fit and have no ounce of fat on them,” he said.
Helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Sultan turned out to be a blockbuster, while the fate of Dangal will be known when it releases on December 22 in the UAE.
