“@niteshtiwari22 sir, please get ready for directing #Dangal2 as our queen #VineshPhogat is about to get a medal in @Paris2024. Thank you for making us proud #VineshPhogat,” one of them wrote enthusiastically.

Another reiterated, “If #VineshPhogat wins a gold medal in this Olympics, I think Nitesh Tiwari should start preparation for #Dangal2. #SanyaMalhotra can play a key role in the film.”

“Dangal fame VINESH PHOGAT, the first-ever Indian wrestler to play in an Olympic final—this has to be the greatest redemption story in our country #Dangal #Dangal2,” one more echoed.
