Filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar will give a chance to his fans
to run along with him in a mini marathon he will organize ahead of the release
of his film “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”.
The 3km-5km marathon will be hosted in four cities – Delhi ,
Chandigarh , Ahmedabad and Jaipur.
Releasing July 12, director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s “Bhaag
Milkha Bhaag” will see Farhan as athlete Milkha Singh. The biopic is a
co-production between Mehra and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures.
“The curiosity to see Farhan running a marathon is at its
highest. He has been able to transcend boundaries and has become the Milkha
Singh of celluloid,” a spokesperson from Viacom 18 Motion Pictures told in a
statement.
The actor went through rigorous physical training in order
to get the perfect body like that of an athlete and fans are keen to watch the
actor run live.
“Ever since the promotions started, everyone has been asking
Farhan about the practice that went into playing the role of Milkha Singh.
That’s why the makers have decided to give the audiences a chance to watch him
run a marathon and participate with him,” a source told.
“Many school and college students will be running with
Farhan. They were selected via contests held by the makers recently,” the
source further added.
The film also features Sonam Kapoor.
