New stills from the one of the biggest releases of 2013, ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ was released and in one of the images that was unveiled showed the protagonist Farhan Akhtar who played the ace athlete, Milkha Singh in the movie kissing a foreigner. The film also stars Sonam Kapoor in a special appearance.
The film is based on Milkha Singh’s life who represented India in 1960 Summer Olympics, Rome and 1964 Summer Olympics, Tokyo. He won many medals for India but his personal life is very pathetic, he lost his family members during the India-Pakistan partition. The shooting of the movie was going on for quite a long time and recently the makers released the first song ‘Zinda’ which shows a romantic side of Milkha Singh. The latest promo shows Farhan kissing a foreign actress in a pool.
Interestingly, Milkha Singh sold the rights of the movie for just Rs 1 to the makers of the movie. But some part of the profit earned from the film will be used to help athletes who have financial problems. It was heard that Milkha Singh personally took interest in the making of the film. Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra of ‘Delhi 6’, ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ is scheduled to release on 12 July, 2013.
