Here's why Aamir Khan is shooting a promotional song for Dangal!

Earlier we reported about how Aamir was shooting a promotional song video for Dangal. We now know the REAL reason behind it. Check it out here…

Aamir Khan‘s Dangal has too much buzz around it. Most of it comes from the casual comparison with Salman Khan Sultan. For both the films hold wrestling as an important and foremost element in their films adding the body transformations they both have gone through, making the films very intriguing. Now Salman Khan’s Sultan has already set a tough record at the box office and has also received great responses for his film. All eyes are now on Aamir. How he plans to beat Salman at the box office is something of everyone’s interest.

Post the success of Sultan, one producer who is spending time re-working his marketing strategy is Aamir Khan. His film Dangal revolves around a wrestler and his daughters while in Sultan, Salman played a wrestler. Says a source, “Aamir, who recently shot for a promotional video for Dangal is holding meetings with his creative team as to how to market and promote the film in a different way. He feels that instead of it centring around wrestling, it should be about women empowerment and how a wrestler encouraged his daughters to achieve fame. The girls went on to represent India at the 2010 Commonwealth games, where they won a gold and a silver medal each. That is why Aamir shot the video with his daughters, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra, who play Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari and also unveiled the second poster with all his four daughters, with the caption — ‘Mhaari chhoriyan chhoro se kam hai ke’ (Are my daughters any lesser than boys?)”

Clearly, Aamir is going all out to make sure he beats Salman at the box office and also makes Dangal a big hit. Since Sultan has already broken records including PK’s crucial record, it is time to see how the 51 year old retaliates to this war. What are your thoughts on this,  BollywoodLifers?
