Except Theme, 'Dangal', 'Siltan' Have No Similarity: Produce

Darpan News Desk IANS, 28 Jul, 2016 01:48 PM
  • Except Theme, 'Dangal', 'Siltan' Have No Similarity: Produce
Siddharth Roy Kapur, one of the producers of Aamir Khan starrer "Dangal", says there's no similarity between the movie and Salman Khan's "Sultan" except the theme of wrestling.
 
"There are no similarities between two movies except the theme of wrestling. 'Sultan' is a superb film, but 'Dangal' is also a great film. And both films are very different from each other," Kapur said here.
 
"Sultan" revolves around the story of an underdog wrestler, capturing how a once-upon-a-time champion wrestler bites the dust only to return with full force. Whereas, "Dangal" is based on a real life wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, who lives his dream of representing the country through his daughter's victories.
 
"I'm feeling very proud of 'Dangal'," added the producer, who is also confident about his other project "Jagga Jasoos".
