Farhan Akhtar shares his 'secret' go-to music that got him in the zone while filming Bhaag Milkha Bhaag; Hrithik Roshan says ‘Love it’

As a dedicated follower of Farhan Akhtar’s journey, I can’t help but marvel at his unique approach to acting and filmmaking. The story behind the music of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is a testament to his commitment to immersing himself in the character he portrays. It’s fascinating how a piece of music could encapsulate the essence of a person’s life, as it seems to have done for Milkha Singh.


Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is one of the most iconic biopics in Bollywood. Farhan Akhtar received immense appreciation for his performance in this 2013 film. He recently shared his go-to music throughout the making of the movie and synced it with the final race scene. Farhan penned a long note about his feelings for the piece of music and Hrithik Roshan resonated with it, saying, “Love it.”

On September 10, 2024, Farhan Akhtar posted on Instagram the climactic race scene from his movie “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”, accompanied by Trevor Jones’ theme music. In his caption, he shared that for him, developing a playlist of songs aids in connecting with the film’s core theme and the character he is portraying’s psyche while working on the movie set.

In Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Farhan mentioned that the theme started dramatically with a sense of impending doom, then shifted to a recurring folk violin melody which might make one question if it was leading anywhere. However, upon closer listening, a subtle build-up could be noticed beneath, culminating in the release of all the tension and anticipation, symbolizing victory.

This was a hidden fact shared between me, the editor, and the composers for the background score.” He added that this secret was only understood by director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.

In the comments area, Hrithik Roshan simply said, “I love it,” while Abhishek Bachchan commented, “It never misses the mark.” The fans, in turn, used red heart and flame emojis to convey their appreciation for the inspiring music.
