When Milkha Singh got a call from Carl Lewis!

Former American track and field star Carl Lewis watched Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and he was so deeply moved by the biopic that he called former Olympian Milkha Singh to convey his appreciation. Confirming the story, the film’s director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra said: ‘Yes, Carl Lewis indeed rang up Milkha Singh after seeing the film. We all hoped Milkha’s life-story would make an inspirational impact. But we never imagined the impact would be so widespread.’ It is celebration time for the entire Bhaag Milkha Bhaag team, including Farhan Akhtar who plays the main lead in it.

While Mehra’s biopic on the amazing life of Milkha Singh has become an all-India success .
