Milkha Singh and Gippy Grewal’s families to watch ‘Lucknow Central’ before everyone

‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ is probably one of the most important films in Farhan Akhtar’s career. It not only gave him a new stature as an actor, but it also remains one of the most loved biopics in Hindi cinema. Farhan Akhtar, who essayed athlete Milkha Singh’s character in the film, is deeply affectionate towards him in real life.

Hence, Singh along with family will be one of the very few people to watch Farhan’s ‘Lucknow Central’ first, before everyone else. (Also Read: Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Lucknow Central’ based on a true story)

The other one to catch the film first is actor Gippy Grewal, who is part of the film’s cast as well. He is also set to travel to Punjab to promote the film.

Farhan, in the film, plays an aspiring singer who is falsely accused of murder and lands up behind the bars. There starts another journey as he forms a band inside the jail. The film is based on true story and is inspired by ‘Healing Hearts’, a musical band consisting of 12 lifetime prisoners from Lucknow Central Jail.

Also starring Diana Penty, Deepak Dobriyal, Ronit Roy and Rajesh Sharma among others, ‘Lucknow Central’s is set to hit the screens on September 15.
