Dangal's alternate casting: Kamal Haasan or Mohanlal?

Aamir Khan's powerful performance in Dangal made the film a massive hit, pulling in over ₹2,000cr worldwide. But here's a fun what-if: if he'd passed on the role, the makers were all set to approach Kamal Haasan or Mohanlal instead—proving they really wanted a legend for Mahavir Singh Phogat.

TL;DR

'Dangal' is yet to stream on Indian OTT platforms

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Dangal follows Mahavir as he trains his daughters Geeta and Babita to become wrestling champs despite tough odds. The cast also features Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Sakshi Tanwar, Aparshakti Khurana, Zaira Wasim, Ritvik Sahore, and Girish Kulkarni. Even though it inspired millions with its message of women's empowerment in sports, you can't stream Dangal on any Indian OTT platform right now.
