The Christmas release date has always been lucky for Aamir as his films released during this festive season have done very good business at the Box Office. The actor previously tasted box office successes with "Taare Zameen Par", "Ghajini", "3 Idiots", "Dhoom 3" and " PK",  as all of them came out during X-Mas.

Dangal will be produced by Disney India. Aamir Khan had said that the preparations are on in full swing for this film. He is busy learning how to wrestle and how to speak Haryanvi, for his role. The film will go on floors in few months.
