Naseerudin Shah is entitled to his opinion on ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’: Farhan Akhtar

Naseerudin had recently said that ‘Bhaag MilkhaBhaag’, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, was a completely fake film and even though Farhan had worked very hard, building up muscles and growing hair was not exactly acting.

Actress Shabana Azmi and writer Prasoon Joshi, among others, have spoken in defence of the film and the actor saying that they did not agree with Shah’s opinion.

‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ chronicled the life of former legendary athlete Milkha Singh. Farhan played the part as of Flying Sikh on the big screen in the biopic that crossed
the Rs 100 crore mark.

Talking about his role in ‘Shaadi Ke Side Effects’, Farhan said, “It was not easy to get into the skin of the character. I had started shooting for it one month after I completed ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, so it was a bit easy.”
