He would do up to one thousand dand (jack-knife pushups) and baithaks (deep knee bends) in one drop. His diet included as many as six desi chickens, 10 litres of milk, up to half a litre of ghee and almonds crushed into a strength tonic. The ‘the’ here refers to Ghulam Muhammad aka ‘The Great Gama’ – the greatest pehelwan wrestler to ever born on Indian soil.
Talented actor Aarav Choudhary who portrayed the pivotal role of Bhishma in Star Plus’ Mahabharat has been roped in to play father of Gama.
As per a credible source, “Aarav has been locked and will play the central character of Gama’s father. The father’s role will be crucial in the story line".
