Rajkummar Rao denies being part of Aamir Khan's 'Dangal'

Actor Rajkummar Rao has denied reports that he will be seen in Aamir Khan's upcoming sports drama Dangal. There were reports that the CityLights star would be seen making a special appearance with Aamir, who worked with him in Talaash.

"All these reports about me in 'Dangal' are rumours," Rajkummar told PTI.

The National-award winning actor is all geared up for Aligarh, which releases this Friday. It is based on the real life story of a professor Dr S R Siras, who was fired from his position for his sexuality.

Directed by Hansal Mehta of CityLights and Shahid fame, the film stars Manoj Bajpayee.

Dangal is based on the life of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, who taught wrestling to his daughters Babita Kumari and Geeta Phogat.
