No Legal Action Against Aamir Khan’s Dangal Confirms Coach PR Sondhi

Very recently it was reported that PR Sondhi, the real coach of Geeta Phoga, has said that he is upset with Aamir Khan and the filmmakers of Dangal for the negative portrayal of his character. Initially, there were reports that he might take a legal action against the actor but it seems that he has changed his mind now.

In an interview with ANI, PR Sondhi said, "Mai ek baar Aamir Khan ko kehna chahunga ki unhe coach se baat karni chahiye role dikhane se pehle; Action lene ka koi irada nahi (I wish to tell Aamir Khan that he should talk to the coach before portraying the role. I don't wish to take any (legal) action (against him)."

In his interview with Sportskeeda, the coach had earlier stated, "It made it spicy but didn't really convey anything of what actually happened. Everything was amicable, but distorting of facts just hurts my reputation. (My work was) something which saw me become national wrestling coach. I will watch the film and take a call whether to take some serious legal action. For the past two decades, I have been in the national set-up, working with the Government of India and Wrestling Federation of India.''

''I met Aamir Khan in Ludhiana regarding the film, and he didn't discuss the final sequence at all. If inputs were taken from me, then why create such fictional events about me? Mahavir never interfered with the coach's work during tournaments,'' he had added.
