Farhan Akhtar plays the lead in the 2013 film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, which just celebrated 10 years since its debut. The crew has also chosen to rerelease the movie in 30 cities to commemorate this significant milestone.
According to director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, “We are also preparing a special screening for the cast and crew and our loved ones as a memorial to Milkha Singh sir who is no longer with us.” We now have the daughter of Milkha Ji. His son Jeev Milkha will attempt to join us in Mumbai even though he is competing in a tournament in London. After that, we will rerelease the movie on August 6 – two weeks from now.

Mehra Tells HT City Some Behind-The-Scenes Tidbits About Bhaag Milkha Bhaag:
We had to put about 2800 children through auditions for the part of young Milkha Singh. And in Punjab, we eventually discovered him offering us meals. I noticed that we had located our Milkha when I gave him a careful look.
The Indian contingent crosses the border in one scenario. There was practically any authorization to film on this side of the border while I was actually shooting at the Firozpur border. BSF was with us, and I couldn’t wait to watch the bus carrying the Indian force enter Pakistan. The fact that the movie was being shot piqued the official’s curiosity in Pakistan. I asked Indian officials whether I may drive the bus into Pakistan, bring my cameraman, and enter. He was understanding and kind enough to do so. I informed the Pakistani officer that we were putting together a love story movie. They gave us the go-ahead, and we entered another nation without a passport or visa for about 50 meters before placing our camera under the protection of Pakistani rangers and taking the picture. The movie contains it.
In a pivotal moment, Milkha pays a long-ago visit to his sister, Divya Dutta, dressed in a suit and glasses. As was the case when he entered, she is currently washing dishes with ashes. She was washing dishes when we started filming, and everything went smoothly. I quickly recognized something was amiss when Divya started washing her hands in cold water after I suggested to cut. When the scenario was being created, the art department started washing clothes and neglected to separate the coal from the ashes. Look at this actor; not a single movement was made.
