Fardeen Khan pulls the right strings

Fardeen Khan is learning to play the guitar for his role in Ajay Devgan's All The Best —The Fun Begins in Goa. Fardeen's character Veer is part of a band. Director Rohit Shetty says, "Veer is a guitarist and Fardeen wanted the character to look realistic. So, we hired Subi from Mumbai to come on the set and train him." Subi is one of the lead guitarists of a rock band.

The director continues, "Subi has been with us for the last 50 days. Fardeen is a very sincere actor who works hard on all his scenes. Though he didn't have to learn, he insisted on picking up the basics, so we decided to hire a trainer."

Fardeen trains for almost an hour every alternate day and now can play the guitar quite well. The actor admits, "I am enjoying learning to play the guitar. I had learnt it when I was a child like all children take various creative lessons. But by the time I grew up I had forgotten it all. It's been great fun getting back to it. Though I can't play a full song, at least I can strum some basic stuff and maybe a tune or two."

FK even sports a stick-on tattoo of a guitar on his left hand, "I had been wanting to have a real one soon but couldn't decide on the design. Now I have finalised one but I plan to get my tattoo done in Mumbai."
