Bhaag Milkha Bhaag 150x150 We hope to motivate young people: Farhan AkhtarThe Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar hopes that his next film ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, a biopic on sprinter Milkha Singh, gives a boost to young athletes of India.

Talking to media at the Aamby Valley hills, the actor said, “I do believe that athletics does need a boost in the arm like many other sports do. There are a lot of thing we are planning to do through this film, through the message of this film and hopefully that will happen.”

Meanwhile, the actor had spent a lot of time with Milkha Singh, also know as The Flying Sikh, to work on his role and said that Milkha Singh wants the film to inspire the young people of the country.

He said, “Milkhaji had said that his biggest dream with this movie is to get more people inspired to enter athletics, more people will get inspired to want to win an individual medal which really hasn’t happened yet for this country.”

Farhan Akhtar said, “We hope to motivate young people through this film and somehow be involved in helping him (Milkha Singh) realise this dream that he has had for 60 years.”

Talking about his role, he said, “It does take a lot of hard work, eating correct, make sure you get enough rest because rest actually is as important for your body to look good as is exercising it.”

“You need to give up on a lot of things but you know the reason for doing it and the cause for doing it is much larger than all of this and that keeps you going,” he added.

The film ‘’Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ is directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Sonam Kapoor plays lead role with Farhan Akhtar in the film. The film will release on July 12 next year.
