KARACHI: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who didn’t know swimming before his upcoming suspense drama film “Talaash” finally learned to swim for the film. He even had to learn underwater swimming, making it a difficult challenge for the actor.

Talaash has a couple of critical underwater sequences where Aamir had to dive underwater with the diving apparatus, remove it while giving shots and then quickly put on the kit again.

Previously, Aamir khan shaved his head and sported a six-pack for “Ghajini”, played a young college student for the “3 Idiots” and grew long hair and mustache for Mangal Pandey. This time he had to learn swimming with the help of his trainer David.

Aamir surprised and impressed Director Reema Kagti and the crew as well by picking up swimming so quickly.

The movie will release on November 30.
