Indian cinema’s leading man Farhan Akhtar plays it tough in his new film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, which tells the fabled tale of India’s track hero Milkha Singh, releasing on 12th July 2013. Commenting on the film, Farhan Akhtar said, “I’m very excited about this film. As an actor, it was an immense honour to play a living legend and Indian hero that is Milkha Singh. I am so proud of the film, and I hope, in my humble attempt, I have done justice to Milkha and his achievements. For me playing this character was a gratifying and humbling experience.”
For the scenes of Milkha Singh’s service in the Indian Army, Farhan Akhtar had to take it to the next level. The young Milkha entered the army as a boy and learns some of life’s most important lessons from his ustaad (teacher) assigned to his platoon, expertly played by Prakash Raj.
