4 Things Aamir Said About Salman at the ‘Dangal’ Poster Launch

Salman Khan helped Aamir get the title ‘Dangal’ for his film

Salman and Aamir Khan have been great friends for over two decades now. The two Khans showed awesome chemistry in Andaz Apna Apna and are playing wrestlers in their upcoming films Sultan and Dangal. On Monday, Aamir launched a new poster of his film Dangal and believe it or not, Salman too made his presence felt at the event. Here’s how the Dabangg star was a part of Aamir’s poster launch:

1. Salman and Shah Rukh Khan Are Bigger Stars, Says Aamir

Salman has always been a bigger star than me, what is new about it. I have always considered Salman a bigger star, I have always considered Shah Rukh a bigger star. When I see Salman walking into a room, it feels like a star has arrived. When I enter it feels like a waiter has entered. No offence to waiters, I shouldn’t say that. But I just mean that when I enter, it doesn’t feel like a star has entered. So Salman and Shah Rukh are bigger stars than I am.

2. Aamir Bets Sultan Will Be a Huge Hit

Sultan is going to be a huge super duper hit, so all the millions of people who come to see Sultan, I want them to see this poster outside the theatre, that our film is also coming soon. So that’s the reason we are releasing the poster right before Sultan’s release. It’s (Sultan) going to be such a bumper hit and whose opening will have some bizarre numbers and those lakhs of people who will come to watch it, I mean in the theatre we should at least stand in one corner and let people know that we will also be coming in 6 months.So we are using the huge potential that Sultan has to promote our film.

3. Aamir Used Salman’s Trainer for Dangal

Rakesh is actually Salman’s trainer. So one day he told me bhai has called for me, Sultan’s shooting will start. So I was like go to bhai, if he wants you. So he started training Salman for Sultan and in his place Rahul Bhatt started training me. So Rahul Bhatt trained me for 3-4 months during the shoot. Once Sultan’s shooting got over then Rakesh came back. So the last three months again Rakesh trained me.

4. Salman Helped Get the Title Dangal for Aamir

Another thing I need to thank Salman for, it’s the title Dangal. I don’t know if you know that, the Dangal title was already written in the script but then we found out that the title copyright was with Puneet Isaar. I knew that Salman is very close to Puneet so I called up Salman one day and said I want the the Dangal title, can you arrange a meeting between Puneet and me? Actually Salman called up Puneet and said that yaar these guys want the Dangal title. While he (Salman) is making Sultan and people are saying apparently we are fighting with each other because both are in a wrestling film, but there is nothing like that because Salman actually helped us get the Dangal title.
