Dangal: Babita Phogat & Family Were Paid 1 Cr For Aamir's 2000 Cr Film? Netizens Comes In Support Of Actor

Babita Phogat On Dangal Movie Compensation: Aamir Khan-starrer 2016 blockbuster film 'Dangal' - helmed by National Award-winning director Nitesh Tiwari - is one of the highest-grossing films that Bollywood has ever made. The biographical sports-drama chronicled the inspiring real-life story of Mahavir Singh Phogat, a father and a former pehlwani amateur wrestler who trained his daughters - Geeta & Babita - to become India's first world-class female wrestlers.

The film not only broke all the box office records but also made Geeta Phogat and Babita Phogat household names. While Dangal grossed over 2000 cr worldwide, the Phogal family was apparently paid peanuts for the Aamir Khan film.
