Farhan’s hot bod

From lean to muscular, the actor has undergone intensive training to play Milkha Singh on screen

From the lean look that Farhan Akhtar sported in his previous films to a sinewy sprinter, his transformation has been the talk-of-the-town and the cynosure of adoring female fans. He has taken ‘getting into the skin of the character’ to a whole new level as this is the first time that he has trained so hard to be fit to play Milkha Singh onscreen. Not satisfied with just getting the appearance right, the 38-year-old actor also went ahead and learned rudimentary Punjabi for the role. Sources close to Farhan share, “Playing Milkha on screen meant that he had to follow the regime of runners, which is very difficult. He’s as fit as a sportsman now after having undergone extensive training.” The new look has been the much-discussed in co-star Sonam Kapoor’s circle of friends. So much so that she succumbed to the pressure from her friends and invited them on the sets of the movie recently where he had to answer all their innocent queries. Sources reveal that Sonam feels very lucky to have worked with Farhan as there is so much she has learnt from him. In the actresses’ own words, “He is a true perfectionist who cares about the smallest of things on the shoot.” Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is also the first time Sonam has been paired opposite Farhan and sources close to Sonam confirm that her phone has been ringing non-stop from curious onlookers who are keen to watch the duo’s chemistry on screen.
