EXCLUSIVE: Watch Aamir's Dangal team and the Phogat family come together for a chat

In an India Today Exclusive, the entire team of Dangal (Aamir Khan, Sakshi Tanwar, the little girls Zaira Wasim and Suhani Bhatnagar, and director Nitesh Tiwari) joined hands with the Phogat family i.e Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters Babita Kumari and Geeta Phogat for a conversation that looked into the making of the film and how well the film reflected the real-life struggle of Mahavir and his girls.

Dangal is based on the struggle of real-life Haryanvi wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat who trained his daughters Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari to become world-class champions. Rising from the village of Balali, Haryana, where girls were destined to only get married, work in the household and produce children, Mahavir defied all odds and began training his young girls from a tender age so that they could represent India in the sport of wrestling at international levels and bring gold home.

Aamir Khan essays the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat in Dangal while popular TV actor Sakshi Tanwar plays his wife. Reportedly, director Nitesh Tiwari worked on the film's screenplay for two years before approaching Aamir Khan for the film.
