We have often discussed that how the life of actors are troubled as they need to get into the character they play on-screen. And in recent times it is Farhan Akhtar who is facing tough times in playing the character of Milkha Singh in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s biopic Bhaag Milkha Bhaag!
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 then 17-year-old sprinter in the film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
This is the time, during the 1950s, when Milkha Singh was a 17-year-old army recruit. Source from the film’s sets informs that Farhan worked really hard to look at least 10 years less than his actual age to look like Milkha in the 1960s. 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 earlier spent a lot of time researching the army life 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.
Indeed tough times for Farhan but as they say sweet are the fruits of labour!
