Farhan Akhtar To Shoot In Pakistan For ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’

After watching Delhi 6, one could not help but praise Rakesh Omprakash Mehra for capturing Old Delhi in a brilliant manner (don’t want to comment about the overall movie though). And if all goes as intended, Rakesh Omprakash Mehra will capture the border of Pakistan, and will shoot for his upcoming movie, the Farhan Akhtar starrer Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, there.

It’s a known fact that Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is a biopic on the legendary Indian athlete Milkha Singh, who was born in Pakistan and later came to India along with other refugees, after losing his parents during the partition.

Meanwhile, the crew of the film feels that the film can be shot in India itself since there is not much of a topographical difference between India and Pakistan! Nevertheless, Rakesh is eager to shoot Bhaag Milkha Bhaag in Pakistan so as to maintain the originality factor and will soon apply for the permissions.

Anyhow, if Rakesh Omprakash Mehra is really serious about getting the location right, Farhan Akhtar, too, is considerate to get the right look for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. At all the public appearances he has made recently, Farhan has been seen with a grown beard and somewhat longer hair! Source
