What if Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (BMB) had Akshay Kumar instead of Farhan Akhtar playing the role of The Flying Sikh Milkha Singh? Well, it could have happened, if Akki had not turned down Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s offer.
Yes, you read it right. Apparently Milkha Singh want Akshay Kumar to portray him in the film and director Rakeysh OmPrakash Mehra was also keen that Kumar play the title role but unfortunately things didn’t work out after which Farhan Akhtar was roped in to play the role of legendary athlete.
Now that BMB has entered the Rs 100 crore club, the Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara actor is feeling regretful and wishes that he had done the film. Aww, poor Akki. If there’s an offer from Mr. Mehra, you know what do!
