Aamir Khan is known as the ‘perfectionist’ in Bollywood. When it comes to his roles, he always gives his 100 percent. Its not for nothing that people in the film industry call him a perfectionist; Aamir is always ready for new challenges.
Here are the films in which Aamir got into the skin of his characters.

Perfectionist Aamir Khan’s amazing transformation from fat to fit for Dangal (Watch Video)
The makers of Dangal released a promotional video that focused on Aamir Khan’s body transformation (from fat to fit) for the character of ex wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat.
Aamir Khan even shares how he managed to achieve those two extremely distinct & different looks of Mahavir Singh Phogat.
While Aamir sports a middle aged (with paunch) look for a major chunk of the film (weighing around 90-95 kgs). The younger version required Aamir to weigh around 70-75 kgs with lean muscles.
The bulky Aamir Khan weighs 97 kgs with 38% body fat! The actor says it was easy to gain weight but he felt very unhealthy. The actor suffered from breathlessness and also had multiple injuries while wrestling in that heavy body structure.
But he enjoyed the challenge of losing 25 kgs in 25 weeks, which was required for the younger Aamir’s role. Mr. perfectionist is known for his dedication and Aamir managed to get the desired look in under 6 months (following a strict fitness regime), weighing 70 kgs with 9% body fat.
Looking at the making video, the transformation does look very impressive. Remember his ripped physique in Ghajini? Even that had impressed his fans a lot, and even in this case Aamir has done a phenomenal job.
