For a long time, there were strong rumours that Shah Rukh Khan would be playing the lead in former Indian Air Force pilot Rakesh Sharma's biopic, Saare Jahan Se Achcha. Apart from him, Aamir Khan and Vicky Kaushal were also attached to the project as lead actors. But now it seems like the movie may have found its hero in Farhan Akhtar.
According to media reports, talks are on between Farhan and Saare Jahan Se Achcha makers for the actor to complete his other work commitments and come on board the project as soon as possible. Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, a source close to the development said, "After a lot of brainstorming, the team zeroed in on Farhan as he played athlete Milkha Singh to perfection in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Talks are on and after finishing his current commitments, he is expected to jump into the prep, which includes body transformation, physical training and understanding the nuances of an astronaut."
