Farhan
Akhtar
is
not
just
an
amazing
director,
but
a
marvellous
actor
too,
and
we
won't
be
wrong
to
say
that
he
delivered
his
best
performance
in
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra's
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag.
Now,
the
duo
is
gearing
up
for
their
upcoming
project
Toofaan.
Recently,
during
the
promotions
of
the
film,
Farhan
recalled
how
a
journalist
got
judgemental
about
him
being
cast
in
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag
and
not
a
Punjabi
actor.
In
an
interview
with
radio
host
Siddharth
Kannan,
Farhan
said,
"At
the
very
first
press
conference
that
we
did
for
the
announcement
of
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag,
a
journalist
asked
Rakeysh,
'How
come
you
cast
Farhan
in
this
film?
Why
didn't
you
take
some
Punjabi
actor
only?
How
will
he
do
it?'
Rakeysh,
of
course,
being
Rakeysh
and
he
had
his
belief,
answered
on
my
behalf
and
said
why
he
chose
to
work
with
me
on
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag."
The
Zindagi
Na
Milegi
Dobara
actor
further
added
that
he
never
forgot
that
question,
as
it
stayed
with
him.
Farhan
went
on
to
add
that
the
question
fuelled
him
so
much
during
the
making
of
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag,
making
him
think
why
should
anyone
have
this
question
about
someone,
firstly,
who
is
an
actor
and
without
knowing
what
it
is
that
they
are
capable
of.
"From
my
point
of
view,
it
felt
like
someone
is
being
judgemental
not
knowing
what
this
person
is
capable
of
doing.
That
gave
me
a
lot
of
fuel," asserted
Farhan.
Coming
back
to
Toofaan,
the
film
also
casts
Mrunal
Thakur
and
is
slated
to
release
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
on
July
16.
