Azmi specifically noted Akhtar’s impressive range. She expressed disbelief that the same actor who portrayed Shaitan Singh in “120 Bahadur” also played Imran in “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.”
Farhan Akhtar responded to her post. He stated, “It means a lot to hear praise from you. Thank you.”
“120 Bahadur” is a war drama based on the 1962 India-China War. It depicts the Battle of Rezang La. In the film, 120 soldiers of the 13 Kumaon Regiment faced over 3,000 Chinese troops.
Farhan Akhtar portrays Param Vir Chakra recipient Major Shaitan Singh Bhati. The film highlights the bravery of the Indian soldiers.
In contrast, “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” is a critically acclaimed film directed by Zoya Akhtar. Farhan played Imran, a character known for his humor, emotional depth, and light-hearted demeanor.
His comedic timing and dialogue delivery in the film were widely appreciated. The ensemble cast also included Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif, and Kalki Koechlin.
