Farhan Akhtar called up Milkha Singh and here's what happened next!

Farhan Akhtar essayed the role of Milkha Singh in his biopic Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra which released on July 11, 2013. The actor recently visited Milkha Singh's hometown Chandigarh and called the sports icon to check if he can visit him and Milkha Singh had the most endearing reply for the actor.

Farhan Akhtar took to his social media and shared a picture of him with Milkha Singh and his family and wrote about his sweet interaction with the icon. The actor posted the picture and wrote, "Called Milkha ji to say we’re visiting Chandigarh and would like to meet him. He said ‘tumhara ghar hai. Jab chaaho aao.’ And it’s absolutely true Milkha ji.. you and your family do make it feel like home. Love you all. #MilkhaSingh #NimmiAunty@jeevmilkhasingh #Sonia #KudratSingh@shibanidandekar"

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag started the trend of sports biopics in Bollywood, for which Farhan had to opt for rigorous training sessions which lasted for about 18 months, in order to get a chiseled body. 

After 2013, six years later in 2019, the hit duo- Farhan Akhtar and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra are all set to reunite to recreate magic on screen for a film based on boxing titled, Toofan. After acing the personification of Olympic- sprinter Milkha Singh, Farhan is all set to get into the shoes of a boxer in another sports-drama film.

Meanwhile, Farhan is gearing up for his upcoming movie, 'The Sky Is Pink', where the actor will be sharing the screen with Priyanka Chopra after their previous film, Dil Dhadakne do.
