The film is based on the life of legendary wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters, who are wrestlers too.
The 'Dangal' team will be in Haryana and Punjab for more than two months to film portions of the Nitesh Tiwari-directorial.
The movie, which also features Sakshi Tanwar, Rajkummar Rao and Gautam Gulati, is slated to release during Christmas next year.
