Mumbai: Actor-director Farhan Akhtar, who will be seen essaying the role of legendary athlete Milkha Singh in `Bhaag Milkha Bhaag`, says he is fortunate to play the role of the `Flying Sikh`.
"I am fortunate enough to play an iconic person (Milkha) on screen. I will be forcing him to accept that I am playing his role. I think that will be enough," he told reporters here last evening.
To be directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, `Bhaag Milkha Bhaag` is a biographical sports drama, inspired by the life of Milkha, one of the earliest sports icons of post-1947 India. The film will trace Milkha`s childhood in today`s Pakistan, the Partition and his achievements as an athlete in the independent India. Farhan will be playing the athlete and the actor-director is leaving no stone unturned to get into shape for the demanding role. "I have started running regularly.
