Aamir Khan Begins Weight Loss for New Sports Film

MUMBAI: (Showbiz Desk) – Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is reportedly working hard to transform his physique for his next major film project.

According to Indian media reports, the veteran actor is preparing to return to the sports-drama genre with “Lalkar”, a project being developed with acclaimed filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker. The reported storyline is expected to draw inspiration from the historic India-Pakistan Test series played in 1952.

Reports suggest that Aamir has already begun working on his appearance for the role. The actor is said to be focusing on weight loss as he prepares to portray a character who is around 25 years old on screen.

The reported project would mark another sports-themed venture for Aamir, years after his acclaimed performance in the hugely successful film “Lagaan.”

Known for dramatically changing his physique for different characters, Aamir has previously gained and lost significant amounts of weight to meet the demands of his roles.

Now 61, the actor is once again reportedly undertaking a demanding physical transformation to convincingly portray a much younger character.
