On Monday morning, an unexpected figure was training in Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium — Farhan Akhtar.
The filmmaker-actor, who's within the Capital to shoot for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, a biopic on athlete Milkha Singh, started shooting on the stadium at 8am, after a protracted workout. Within the scene being shot, Akhtar was seen racing with a couple of foreigners, who were essaying the role of international athletes.
Dressed in a white vest with ‘India’ and number 171 written on it, at the side of a couple of shorts, the 38-year-old looked each piece the true Milkha.
The area was cordoned off and heavy security was in place to forestall anyone from getting with regards to the team or clicking Akhtar in his getup.
The film, being helmed by filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, was earlier shot near Patiala in Punjab. The team has a 40-day schedule in Delhi and is predicted to shoot in various parts of the Capital. The film also stars actor Sonam Kapoor, who's expected to sign up for the shoot soon.
