Long after the film's release, Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' got Chinese professional boxer Zou Shiming and American basketball player Stephon Marbury to promote the Indian sports drama. Zou loved the film's trailer so much that he personally came for a press conference of the film, even making Aamir recite a poem in Chinese.

Marbury, at a special promotional event for 'Dangal', gifted Aamir an autographed basketball and in received an autographed 'Dangal' T-shirt in return. A popular face in China, the 'Dhoom' actor was in China lately along with director Nitesh Tiwari, to attend the China premier of the blockbuster on April 16. The superhit movie made over £38.5 million at the Indian box office. It is an inspirational story of former Indian wrestler Mahavir Phogat, who trained his daughters Geeta and Babita to become world-class wrestlers.
