Outlining the plot, the PK star said: "Dangal is not just a film about wrestling, it's an emotional journey of a father and his two daughters, which teaches us to empower our girls.

"Nitish Tiwari's narration made me laugh and cry, it inspired me and made me feel the thrill of celebration. I play an ageing ex-wrestler with four daughters, two of whom are young adults, so I'm ageing myself. I'm also training in wrestling and learning Haryanvi!"

The actor's last film PK was a religious satire about an alien who uncovers the anomalies of humans.

Khan has most recently been the focus of controversy after he condemned the AIB Celebrity Roast as violent.
