Bhaag Milkha Bhaag crew celebrates huge success at a star-studded party

Since its very opening day amid all the mixed reviews, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has only been racing towards the top without looking backwards. The entire team of the film celebrated the success of their hard work along with director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, lead actors Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor.

The style diva Sonam looked stunning as usual in a white off shoulder James Ferreira gown. Her look was enriched with Pearl earrings and a Bottega Veneta clutch. Farhan was looking stylish too in printed pants and was spotted with his wife Adhuna Akhtar, who was seen in a blue leather dress. Divya Dutta, the onscreen sister of Milkha Singh who received wide appreciation for her portrayal of Isri Kaur, was looking elegant with all smiles. National Award Winning actor Prakash Raj, who has reportedly done charity for the movie, was also spotted with his choreographer wife Pony Verma. Actor Dev Gill, who played the character of Abdul Khaliq in the movie, was also enjoying at the bash. Master Japtej Singh who played the role of young Milkha Singh was also partying at the event with his elder colleagues. The list of the guests also includes scriptwriter Prasoon Joshi, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, Milkha Singh’s onscreen coach Pawan Malhotra, musician Loy and others.

Farhan told reporters on the success of his film, "We are happy that people love this film. The biggest compliment is the acceptance of audience and Milkha Singh and his family.” An ecstatic Farhan added more, "My mother (Honey Irani) and wife (Adhuna) are feeling proud of me. It is nice to see this reaction as I was away from them and gave most of the time to this film.” He said on his moral learning from the film, "Milkhaji taught me that you couldn't move on in life with the baggage of negativity and illwill. You can't be the Flying Sikh with that entire burden." He added further, "Athletes are bound to be inspired by the movie. But I hope sports federations should start getting a lot more sensitive towards athletes and nurture them correctly... Hopefully, the film will make people think.” Director Mehra and Farhan met Maharashtra revenue minister Balasaheb Thorat and sought tax concession for the film. The actor said, "We got a positive response from the minister. They also felt there is a positive message in the film. We hope they will make our film tax free.”
