One of India cinema’s most iconic biopics, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, is all set for a grand re-release on August 8, 2025, celebrating over a decade of its legacy. Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and starring Farhan Akhtar as the legendary sprinter Milkha Singh, the film returns to the big screen for a new generation to witness the power of resilience, patriotism, and human spirit.
Why It’s Back – A Timeless Tale of Triumph
Originally released in 2013, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag was a critical and commercial success, with Farhan Akhtar delivering a career-defining performance. The film traces the inspirational life of Milkha Singh—from surviving Partition to representing India at the Olympics. It’s more than a sports drama; it’s a cinematic salute to one of the nation’s greatest heroes.
What’s New – Inclusive Screenings for All
In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the film will be screened with Indian Sign Language (ISL) interpretation in select theatres across India. This inclusive effort ensures that the deaf and hard-of-hearing community can fully experience Milkha Singh’s story. The re-release is supported by PVR INOX, Viacom18 Studios, and ROMP Pictures.
Farhan Akhtar’s Tribute Lives On
