Aamir has found his daughters

The casting team have auditioned 21,000 girls till now and has selected two girls, Fatima Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra, to play the role of Aamir's daughter.

Fatima is a Mumbai based girl, has acted in a few films and a TV serials. Sanya, a Delhite, is a trained ballet dancer. The film will focus on the two girls who at the age of 22 and 20 made history and a search is still on for actors who will play their younger versions.

The role is tough, for which the girls are required to be slightly athletic! Aamir will be seen playing a total different role and the casting team needs to ensure they get the casting right.

"Aamir has four different looks throughout the film and one of them will be of a 55-year-old father. Aamir's salt-and-pepper look, which he sported some time ago, has not been finalised. We are still trying different looks on him," a source said.

Aamir Khan's Dangal is based on the life of former wrestler and Coach Mahavir Singh Phogat who trained his three daughters and one niece for the Commonwealth Games. His daughters Geeta, Babita, Kumari and niece Vinesh have been successful gold medallists.

"Aamir Khan is not involved in the casting process. Casting director Mukesh Chabbra will soon hold auditions in small towns to cast the girls. We are not looking for actors, but performers who can pull off a rustic look"A source close to the film revealed.
