Farhan Akhtar, who is now busy promoting his forthcoming film Lucknow Central, is amused and annoyed by reports that he will be featuring in a biopic on the legendary cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi.
Farhan explains, “At an event for the promotion of the web series Inside Edge (co-produced by Farhan) a journalist asked me if more biopics on sports persons should be made. I replied that we have so many legendary figures in our sports history, and then pointed to (actor) Angad Bedi, who was also at the event to say his father Bishen Singh Bedi was one of them.”
Farhan says the innocuous comment has been converted by a section of the media into a full-blown biopic. “That statement has been misconstrued to suggest that I am making a biopic on Bishen Singh Bediji.”
