Farhan Akhtar on 120 Bahadur, films on Army

Farhan Akhtar, in a conversation with the publication, expressed that his experience while working on the film Lakshya, featuring Hrithik Roshan, provided him with significant insights into the Army. He came to understand that the Army operates as a distinct entity, characterized by its own discipline and protocols.

Akhtar further stated that not all films depicting the Army receive their approval. "Nevertheless, certain productions necessitate the Army's endorsement. Lakshya was one such film, and now, 120 Bahadur. They pose inquiries when you approach them, and it is essential to have responses ready. It is their responsibility to comprehend your motivations for creating that film. They must feel at ease," he remarked.

The filmmaker and actor emphasized that donning the Army uniform on screen is a source of pride. According to Farhan, it instils a sense of duty and honour. He believes that wearing the uniform influences one's body language, posture, and overall demeanour.
