Farhan Akhtar to play Milkha Singh?
Buzz is that the 'ZNMD' star has agreed to take on the role of the sporting hero
From directing to scriptwriting to acting and producing - Farhan Akhtar has done it all. But all of his projects so far - from 'Dil Chahta Hai' to 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' have been part of his company Excel Entertainment.
Now, the multi-talented Akhtar is set to broaden his horizons. The rumour is that Farhan has agreed to play Milkha Singh in Rakyesh Om Prakash Mehra's biopic on the legendary athlete.
'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' has been in the works for a while now, with the director taking his time to choose his hero. Many top names were supposedly in the running for the lead role - from Abhishek Bachchan to Akshay Kumar. If Farhan has indeed got the role, he has well and truly trumped the competition.
