Salman was also making the wrestling film Sultan and we were competing with each other, yet Salman convinced Punit to give me the title of Dangal.
Actor Aamir Khan recently revealed during an actor conference how Salman Khan helped him get the title for the film Dangal. He said, ‘There is one thing I should thank Salman for, that is the title Dangal. The rights of the title Dangal were already with Punit Issar. I knew Salman is very close to Punit, so I told Salman on the phone, I want the title Dangal. Can you arrange a meeting between Punit and me?’ He further said, ‘Actually Salman convinced Punit to give me this title. Despite the fact that he was making Sultan and we were competing with each other because both were wrestling films.’
