"Let' s go wrestling ，Dad!"《（ 摔跤吧，爸爸!》） is one of the Top 10 movies recently． It tells a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters． His name's Mahavir． In real life， he is called"the father of India women wrestling"because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts．
A very famous Indian actor， Aamir Khan， played the role of Mahavir in the movie． It was an unusual experience for him to play this role． Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story． In order to act well， he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then do sports to be very strong in a short time．
Aamir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie． He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food． He became too fat to run quickly．
It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong． Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and took him a few months to be strong． He must eat less and drink more． Strength training is also important． This kind of physical training is very boring． He had to lift different weights and do it over and over again． Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it， he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up． In the end， he became the exact person the movie needs．
The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last． As he says， the most important thing in life is not whether you can reach your goal but whether you have made the greatest efforts．
