Farhan Akhtar.
Farhan Akhtar is a multi-talented actor who always does wonders on screen. He has given many superhit films, but his character of Milkha Singh in ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ is the most different and special, which is clearly seen in the film. Whenever every actor understands the psychology of his character, he goes through a process, in the same way a tune by Trevor Jones helped Farhan to get into the character of Milkha Singh. Farhan recently shared a glimpse of the final racing scene of ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ on his social media. This scene has been edited in a special way, in which Trevor Jones has used the tune that he often used to listen to to play the character of Milkha Singh.
Farhan told the whole process
Farhan Akhtar wrote in the caption of his Instagram post, ‘I am shocked by what happened here and I had to share it with you. Part of my process (with some characters) is to create a playlist of music that helps me connect with the main theme of the film and understand the mindset of the character I am playing. During the making of “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”, this tune by Trevor Jones became the tune that helped me get into character. It starts with dramatic and somewhat serious tones, followed by a folk-style violin melody that is repeated over and over again, which makes you think, “Where is this going?” But if you listen carefully, you will see that something is slowly building up, which finally takes away all the tension and expectations – the theme of victory.’

This tune proved effective
In this episode, Farhan further writes, ‘For me, this piece of music perfectly reflects the life of Milkha ji. I listened to it continuously on my headphones while making the film. The editor did not know and neither did the background score creators. Only Rakesh knew this. Yesterday, on the set in Ladakh, I heard the theme while waiting for the crew to set up the shot and wondered what it would be like if this theme was added to the last race scene. I tried it on a whim, and what happened was just magic. The edit is amazing. Enjoy.’
will be seen in this film
His dedication to playing Milkha Singh was evident in his performance, but this story shows even more the unique way he connects with his character. On the work front, Farhan is also gearing up for his next big project ‘120 Bahadur’. Based on the battle of Rezang La, the film will see him playing the role of Major Shaitan Singh PVC. Known for his ability to delve deeply into his roles, ‘120 Bahadur’ is set to be another film by Farhan that shows his dedication to telling character-driven stories.
