PIX: Sachin, Raj Thackeray watch Dangal with Aamir

Aamir Khan held a special screening of his new film Dangal for his close friends.

This is among the many screenings he holds for his friends within the film industry and outside. In fact, he said he'll be keeping for Shah Rukh and Salman as well. "I have messaged both of them, whenever they want to see the film. Both are busy now, so whenever they want to see, we will screen it," Aamir told PTI.
