Read Entertainment Desk. Aamir Khan is preparing for another major physical transformation for 'Lagaan' fame Ashutosh Gowarikar's upcoming sports drama film 'Lalkara'. The actor, who is known for completely changing his look for many films, has been going through an intensive weight loss program to play the 25-year-old character.
According to a report, in 'Lalkara' the 61 year old actor will play the character of a person several decades younger than his actual age. A source said, “Aamir Khan is embarking on a massive weight loss program for Ashutosh Gowarikar's next film. The actor will play the role of a 25-year-old youth in 'Lalkara', which is said to be a sports drama.”
This transformation is expected to be quite challenging as Aamir will not only have to lose a lot of weight but will also have to look much younger on screen. The source further added, “Aamir leaves no stone unturned in making physical changes for a role, and this time too he is working very hard to look believable.”
Aamir has done many memorable body transformations in his career. For 'Dangal', the actor first gained a lot of weight to play the character of an older Mahavir Singh Phogat and then lost weight to shoot the scenes in which the character was younger. He also had a muscular physique for 'Ghajini', while for 'PK' he had to look quite thin.
'Lalkara' will also be a big reunion between Aamir and filmmaker Ashutosh Gowarikar after their famous 2001 film 'Lagaan'. Their previous collaboration was based on cricket during the British rule and received an Academy Award nomination for 'Best Foreign Language Film'. Cricket will also play an important role in 'Lalkara'. Written by Piyush Gupta and Neeraj Singh, this film is said to be based on the world of Indian cricket.
Although the entire story is kept under wraps, it is expected that the story will feature themes like rivalry, friendship and patriotism. It is being told that the impact of partition will also be shown through the experiences of one of the early people associated with Indian cricket. Aamir's weight loss journey has already started, and now all attention is on his transformation and how the makers will portray him as a 25-year-old in the sports drama.
