Actor Aamir Khan begins a major weight-loss process to prepare for his role in Ashutosh Gowariker’s upcoming film *Lalkaara*. Multiple reports say the change is aimed at portraying a young cricketer in the movie.
Both sources link the film’s premise to the 1952 Test series between India and Pakistan. The productions described the storyline as drawing inspiration from that historical period, with Khan’s physical transformation intended to match the character he plays. NDTV frames the weight-loss as part of the actor’s preparation, noting that the film is expected to center on themes connected to cricket from the early 1950s.
While the outlets provide consistent details about the weight-loss and the film’s inspiration, they do not offer additional specifics such as casting for other roles, filming timelines, or confirmed plot details beyond the connection to the 1952 Test series.
