Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’ is a super hit, doing business worth over Rs 300 crore within 17 days of its release, but Mahavir Singh Phogat, on whose life the film is based, is happy despite getting just a fraction of the sum.
For sharing his family’s journey to the wrestling arena, the former wrestler-turned-coach, it is learnt, received close to Rs 80 lakh. Though Phogat wasn’t keen to talk about it, friends and family members say he is satisfied.
