Finally the cat's out of the bag. We hear Farhan Akhtar plays a journalist for Dil Dhadakne Do. We have seen Farhan Akhtar play different roles as an actor in the past; a rock star in Rock on! and an athlete in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
However, for the first time, we will see the actor playing the role of a journalist in his upcoming next film Dil Dhadakne Do. In his real life Farhan has encountered a lot of journalists and interacted with them over the years, so he understood the character well and could play it with conviction.
He plays a journalist for an international media house. Farhan found it very interesting to play the character that he knows so well by now. Moreover, in real life too, Farhan is a writer and so this character seems to be an extension of his personality only.
Our source shares, "Farhan will be seen essaying the role of the journalist in the film. A journalist who is on a vacation. He also plays the third angle to Priyanka Chopra and Rahul Bose's marriage. Priyanka and Farhan play friends who were once upon a time lovers and they meet on the cruise again. Priyanka who's frustrated with her marriage wants to get back to Farhan. It is an interesting role and his character is very well etched."
