"Distortion of facts has hurt my reputation. I don't understand the need to show the character as such a heartless taskmaster. There were four other coaches, who were also involved [in the training], but they haven't been shown in the film at all."
Despite stellar performance by the entire cast, 'Dangal' has seen its share of controversy. Prior to its release, there were demands from certain right-wing groupsto boycott the movie due to Aamir's intolerance remarks last year.
