While talking exclusively to ANI, the ‘Dangal’ actor shared, “Shakti Kumarr’s character is very different from how I am personally.”

Talking about the challenges, Aamir stated, “The challenge for me was to not just to behave like him but to feel like him. But it was also very enjoyable as by playing Shakti Kumarr, I could do all the things that otherwise I don’t do or I am not allowed to do and so I want to thank Advait for this role.”
