Salman Khan and Aamir Khan have wrestler Sangram Singh’s approval. Sangram is delighted that Salman and Aamir are playing wrestlers in Sultan and Dangal, respectively. He says, “I was the happiest when I heard that Salmanji and Aamirji are playing wrestlers in their forthcoming films. As a wrestler, I am not going to be cynical about how effective they would look while performing wrestling scenes.”

Sangram rues the fact that wrestling is not considered glamorous in this country. He hopes that the stars help bring the spotlight back on the sport. He says, “Farhan Akhtar changed the perception about sprinting when he played Milkha Singhji. I am sure Salmanji and Aamirji would have the same effect on wrestling.” He continues, “I know they’re working hard, gaining and losing weight. I am content with the fact that their association with wrestling would encourage youngsters to look beyond cricket.”
