PR Sondhi planning to take legal action against Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’!

Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’ is the current talk of the town, everyone is thrilled with the way the actors have performed in the film but it seems like not everyone is happy with this Nitish Tiwari film.

If reports are to be believed, one of the five coaches of the Indian women wrestling team during the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games, PR Sondhi may take legal action against the film. The coach has raised objection to the portrayal of a character called PR Kadam.

He was quoted saying, “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.”

He further added, “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.”

The Wrestling Federation is not happy with it either. An official told ABP, “Sondhi is a respected coach. The treatment given to his character is not acceptable. If a national coach had locked someone during the Commonwealth Games then why nobody reported the incident? It’s baseless and that’s exactly why I was not consulted during the shooting,”

We will have to wait and see how this situation unfolds…
