Farhan strived hard to become Milkha Singh

Buzz is that actor-director Farhan Akhtar, who will next be seen in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra\'s \'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag\' has worked too hard to get into the skin of the Character. Farhan is portraying the role of \'The Flying Sikh\' Milkha Singh, the only athlete to win a gold media in Commonwealth Games from India. He rigorously practiced and shot at the Ladakh Shooting schedule where there are low levels of oxygen. Farhan personally found out a training center at the suburbs, which professionally train people to immune themselves in such conditions. He ran ten kms each day. He got trained for a month. At Ladakh he used to perform a tire and rope workout for several hours. And eventually, it all showed up in the promo.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is set to release on July 12.
