Aamir Khan is probably responsible for the most amazing ‘transformations’ that we have ever seen in Bollywood. In the recent past social media watchers and celeb spotters had become used to seeing a bearded, grizzled Aamir Khan as he shot for this upcoming film Dangal; an Aamir Khan that would be best described as ‘portly’ and ‘middle aged’. Then we saw this hunky, ripped looking guy and now there is this new Aamir who looks completely different again for this new Dangal promotional song:

Those of us who saw him recently with the lean, mustachioed look for Talaash and then his wide-eyed, big eared paan chewing look for PK were startled by this overweight looking older man with the white hair and beard and considerable facial jowls.
Reactions to the first poster

The Twitteratti had a lot to say about the first poster of Dangal.

But then they always have a lot to say; some of it admittedly funny.
The second Dangal poster

Around the beginning of July 2016 we saw the release of this poster where we see a still beefy Aamir as a proud father along with his ‘chhoris’ the girls whom he trains in wrestling which is what the film is about.

Then about the time that Salman Khan’s Sultan released, we saw Aamir Khan suddenly look years younger with dark hair, a tough, muscled, ripped, fighter’s look.

And now we see Aamir Khan in a third look for the film where he sports earrings, eye makeup and stubble apart from some major biceps. This is the avatar that the superstar has created for promotional hip hop video song that is in the works currently. The man will turn rapper for Dangal now according to reports.

Predictably, the brand new look Aamir sports for the promotional song where we will see him as a desi rapper that went viral recently. The man never ceases to surprise, and social media never fails to rise to the occasion.
