Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’ finally goes on floors today!

It’s been nine months to Aamir Khan’s last release PK and he has not shot a single scene for his next. Reason? He was busy prepping up and looking his character in his next film. Nitesh Tiwary’s Dangal which has Aamir playing the role of a wrestler has finally gone on floors and the actor has started shooting from Monday.

A source tells us, “The actor was supposed to begin shooting for Dangal on September 1 but there was further delay in plans and it was decided that they will start towards the end of September. Finally, it was Aamir who called the shots and decided that he will start it this Monday itself.”

Aamir is now camping in Ludhiana where he will be filming the second half of the film first, where he plays a 50 year old father of two wrestler girls. He took to Twitter to announce the film’s first day of shoot. Hw tweeted on Sunday.
