The superstar has until now remained quite supportive towards his friend Salman's upcoming wrestling film Sultan. But seems like the ever increasing comparisons being made between Sultan and his own wrestling film Dangal, has miffed him. Reportedly, Aamir is unhappy with the "dhobi-pachad" move which Salman is seen doing in Sultan's trailer, which plays a key aspect of his own film Dangal. Inside sources claim there might be a possibility that Aamir will postpone the release of his film from December to next year.
