 "Naseeruddin Shah reveals his criticism on Farhan Akhtar was exaggerated after 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' actor says 'I found that distasteful'")
Farhan Akhtar is gearing up for his next film as an actor called 120 Bahadur which is releasing in cinemas on November 21 and is against the backdrop of the Indo-China war. We get to see him on the big screen after a long time. He made his debut as an actor with Rock On! in 2008. His most memorable and successful film as an actor is the 2013 Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
But veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah was not too pleased by that biopic on legendary athlete Milkha Singh. He has been critical of Farhan Akhtar in the past and on the show Aap Ki Adaalat, Akhtar broke his silence on the same.
What Farhan Akhtar said
The actor said, “I have known him for so many years. We worked together in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. He knows me ever since I was a child. He is a great performer and a great actor.”
He added, “But the only thing that I didn’t like was that if you want me to improve in my work, then there is a way of communicating that.”
Farhan Akhtar continued, “I would have picked up a phone and told the person to come home. I have watched your film and I found these points lacking.”
“And if you’re passionate about acting, then you should work on these things. This is a way of communicating. But to go in the press and say this, I found that distasteful.”
Naseeruddin Shah on his scathing remarks
In his latest statement, Shah quipped, “He is right but I think my statement has been exaggerated a bit.”
He added, “I don’t think you need to be a genius to figure that out! Read both statements.”
