akshayxyz Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 Interesting discussion in comments of this blog http://jmatthan.blogspot.in/2005/11/dara-singh-king-kong-flash-gordon.html I had read previously, about the other (real) Dara Singh. But thought, it was just another folklore. Someone in the comments claims to have seen live fights of the other Dara Singh.
