Aamir Khan Begins Weight Loss to Play 25-Year-Old in Ashutosh Gowariker's Lalkaara
Aamir Khan is undergoing a significant weight-loss transformation to portray a 25-year-old character in Ashutosh Gowariker's upcoming sports drama, Lalkaara. The film, based on the 1952 Test cricket series between India and Pakistan, marks a reunion between the actor and director after Lagaan. At 61, Aamir is preparing intensively to convincingly depict a much younger role, continuing his history of physical transformations for films. Details about the film's plot and other cast members remain limited.
