After a three-year break, Farhan Akhtar is returning to the big screen. He’s going to play Major Shaitan Singh in the next movie, 120 Bahadur. According to reports, Farhan has experienced a significant physical makeover that has given him a soldier’s appearance, reminiscent of his commitment in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
According to a source close to the project, as quoted by Pinkvilla, Farhan Akhtar has lost a lot of weight to appear thinner and more like Major Shaitan Singh, who was awarded the Param Vir Chakra for his military service. The insider revealed that in order to preserve the privacy of his appearance, the actor has been keeping a low profile and avoiding public appearances.
Not even at the official film’s announcement was his appearance made clear. Farhan Akhtar is no stranger to bodily metamorphoses; for Toofan and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, he previously took on an athlete’s physique.
Recently, Farhan Akhtar posted a photo to Instagram from Ladakh, showing his crew getting ready for a shoot against the breathtaking rocky background of the area and wrote “Crew at work” with hashtags such as #bts, #120Bahadur, #EkSauBeesBahadur, and #Ladakh.
Farhan earlier revealed some details about 120 Bahadur on Instagram with a motion poster that had the stirring words, “Vo teen the… “Aur hum? Bahadur 120.”
