Amir into wrestling

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan might play the father of the women wrestlers Geeta and Babita who made an appearance on the tv reality show Satyamev Jayate.

Sources said, Aamir is preparing himself to play a character based on the life and struggles of Mahavir Phogat - the father of Indian women`s wrestling stars Geeta and Babita Kumari Phogat. It is being reported that Aamir will be undergoing a lot of training to play a wrestler who trains his daughters to take up the sport. It is a rather difficult role to play. He needs to look like a wrestler and also sound like one for his role in the film that has been tentatively titled Kushti.

After Farhan Akhtar set the ball rolling with his brilliant portrayal as Milkha Singh that won him many Awards, and Priyanka Chopra showcased boxer Mary Kom`s life on the big screen, Amir is going to be included in the list with `Kushti`.
