While the world is praising Aamir Khan and his 'Dangal', the flick has irked former wrestling coach PR Sondhi.

Sondhi, one of the coaches of the Indian wrestling team during the 2010 Commonwealth Games, feels the makers have not done justice to the coach's role.

"I don't want anything but I want to make Aamir Khan realize that if he is giving a coach's role to somebody, he should have spoken to me before the movie was made," Sondhi told ANI.

Further, Geeta Phogat's ex-coach spoke about the scene where the coach sends someone to lock up Mahavir Phogat.

"If something like that happened in reality, even though there was so much security, do you think the media would have been quiet?," he said.

On the other hand, the Nitesh Tiwari-directorial is reportedly all set to cross the Rs. 200 crore mark as soon as the second-weekend sets in.
