According to a report in Movies.ndtv.com, Aamir might play the father of the women wrestlers Geeta and Babita who made an appearance on Satyamev Jayate. Sources have been quoted in the report as saying that Aamir is preparing himself to play a character based on the life and struggles of Mahavir Phogat - the father of Indian women's wrestling stars Geeta and Babita Kumari Phogat.

It is being reported that Aamir will be undergoing a lot of training to play a wrestler who trains his daughters to take up the sport. It is a rather difficult role to play. He needs to look like a wrestler and also sound like one for his role in the film that has been tentatively titled Kushti.
