Farhan Akhtar
Essaying the role of an athlete is not easy. After undertaking a rigorous regime to get into the character of Milkha Singh, Farhan Akhtar will now have to work hard to look like the 17-year-old sprinter in the film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
'Farhan worked really hard to look at least 10 years less than his actual age to look like Milkha in the 1960s,' said a source. 'Farhan would now have to knock off another 10 years from his real age to look like the 17-year-old Milkha, the army-boy in the 1950s.'
Farhan, who spent a lot of time researching the army for his war film Lakshya, would undertake at least a fortnight of on-the-spot training in an army cantonment to get the hang of that particular phase of Milkha's career.
Bhag Milkha Bhag story and synopsis will be available soon.
