The special screening of “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag,” scheduled for July 26 in Mumbai, will honour the late Indian sprint legend Milkha Singh. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Ajit Andhare, COO of Viacom18 Studios, and P. S. Bharathi, Executive Producer of “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag,” are participating. The veteran athlete passed away the previous year, and with this special showing, they are paying tribute to the veteran, also known as “The Flying Sikh” of the country.
Farhan Akhtar plays the late Indian sprint legend Milkha Singh in the biographical sports drama “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.” Even though the audience adored the movie, this special showing would cause them to revisit the nostalgia associated with this motivational story on screen after so many years after its debut.
The 10 years of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag also coincide with Studios’ 10 year journey of Redefining Indian Cinema, according to Ajit Andhare, COO of Viacom18 Studios, as the movie celebrates its tenth anniversary. What better way to honour this decade’s defining movie than to watch Bhaag Milkha Bhaag? Through a special screening, we honour the late Milkha Singh, known as the “Flying Sikh” in India. His unbreakable spirit resonates with this timeless movie, leaving millions of people with an enduring impression. This movie is a perfect example of our commitment to writing stories that are interesting and insightful. Even after ten years, this narrative still motivates others and honours a steadfast person’s life.
The film, which was released in 2013, depicted the late Milkha Singh’s inspirational journey and how he overcame numerous difficult challenges to become a world champion, Olympian, and one of India’s most famous athletes. Farhan Akhtar’s portrayal as Milkha Singh, the cast’s outstanding work, and the film’s prodigious directing by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra all contributed to its status as a masterpiece and a priceless work of Indian cinema. The movie made a name for itself at the box office and finished 2013 as the sixth highest-grossing Bollywood picture.
