Ranveer Singh auditioned for ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra

“Farhan came as an instinctive choice. His age was wrong- Farhan was 36, Milkha was 22. But I felt out of all the auditions I had seen he was the best. There were three people who stood out- one was a new actor called Nitish, one was Ranveer Singh, who was quite crazy and then Farhan,” Mehra said on the sidelines of IFFI.

“For me Farhan worked the best because his response was silent. I could see it in his eyes. That was it. That was enough for me.”

“Bhaag Milkha Bhaag” also starred Sonam Kapoor, Divya Dutta, Pavan Malhotra, Yograj Singh and Prakash Raj.
