TIL Desk Bollywood/ Filmmaker-actor Farhan Akthar, who is gearing up for his next film “The Sky is Pink”, has said sports stories are easier to understand and they also inspire people.
Farhan said this here on Tuesday while interacting with the media at the launch of sportswear brand D:FY along with Anil Kumble, Ritesh Sidhwani, Saqib Salim, Rhea Chakraborty and Nidhhi Agerwal. Farhan has played role of legendary Indian sprinter Milkha Singh in “Bhag Milkha Bhag”.
When asked Farhan whether cinema on sports is emerging as a trend, he said: “We always look up to sporting icons and sporting legends over the time that we have had, to bring their stories onscreen.
There is a lot I think, for children especially, to learn about character and life and it also helps to re-invent you and to deal with failure.” Farhan feels stories based on sports personalities inspire people in general.
