Actor Farhan Akhtar recently spoke about past comments made by Naseeruddin Shah regarding his performance in the 2013 biographical film ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’. In a recent interview, Shah reacted to his statement and held the media responsible for exaggerating his earlier comments.
in an interview with HT CityShah addressed Akhtar’s sentiments, saying, “He is right, but I think my statement has been blown out of proportion a bit.” When asked which passage he found particularly exaggerated, he said, “I don’t think you need to be a genius to figure it out! Read both statements.” Shah said that media coverage may have enhanced his original comments, encouraging readers to consider the full context.
Earlier, in an interview india tv, Akhtar termed Shah’s statement as distasteful And their long-standing business relationship was highlighted. He said, “I have known him for many years. We worked together in ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’. He has known me since I was a child. He is a great artist and a great actor, but the only thing I didn’t like was that if you want me to improve my work, there is a way to communicate it… but going to the press and saying that felt distasteful to me.”
Shah’s initial comments on Akhtar’s performance in ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ were made public in 2013. At the time, Shah had said, “I don’t care about Farhan Akhtar, and I don’t watch his films. I liked his first film ‘Dil Chahta Hai’. He’s a tremendous human being and has so many facets to him. Tomorrow I wouldn’t be surprised if I hear that he cooked a 10-course meal to perfection. He sings, acts, produces films, and writes. I think it’s great that he’s doing what he can. I’m not a big fan of his acting or his films.
In another interview, Shah further criticized, saying, “This is a completely fake film. There is no doubt that Farhan has worked very hard, but building muscles and growing out your hair is not really working hard on your acting. At least he should have tried to look like Milkha.”
The actor is now preparing for release His film ‘120 Bahadur’It is scheduled to release on screens on November 21.
