Perfectionist (control freak?) Aamir Khan is leaving nothing to fate with his project 'Dangal'. Taking up a new task for the movie, the 50 year old will now rap for a song that will be a part of the promotions.

A source from the unit said, "Aamir is excited about doing a rap number. It is a peppy track that will be used in promotions. After recording it, he will shoot for the video." Khan made his singing debut in 1988 with famous 'Aati Kya Khandala' song for 'Ghulam'. He later recited shayari in 'Sarfarosh' and 'Fanna' and last sang for 'Taare Zameen Par' in 2007. "In this one, Aamir's is the only voice. Pritam has composed the song while Amitabh Bachchan is behind the lyrics. When the makers broached the idea, Aamir was excited and gave it a thumbs-up. However, he wanted to rehearse before stepping into the recording studio," said the source.

With the shooting of the film all wrapped up, Khan has already begun practising for the song. "Pritam and Amitabh are part of his practice sessions. Mr Perfectionist wants the track to be nothing short of perfect and is enjoying trying his hand at rapping."

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Dangal is based on the life of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat. The film is set to release on December 23, 2017.
