OMG: Farhan Akhtar punched sister Zoya Akhtar while doing stunts

Actor-Filmmaker Farhan Akhtar upcoming film Wazir has him playing a role of a cop. The ‘Rock On’ star said that he enjoyed doing stunts in the film. He confessed that action is his favourite genre. He also confessed to have punched his sister Zoya Akhtar by mistake while doing one such stunt.

Farhan said, “I have directed action films but did not act in it. There was a very good action team for this film (Wazir). It was the first time I was acting in an action film. As a kid I have loved doing action. I used to roam in the house with a toy gun thinking villains are around. I even punched Zoya by mistake while doing one such action stuff. I was a filmy child.”

Speaking at the launch of Wazir trailer, Farhan said, “We have done a lot of readings together. When we were shooting together at his house, it took me some time to do the scene. Thankfully it demanded sir (Amitabh Bachchan) to speak more dialogues and I was in awe of him. And it is one of the best scenes from the film.”

In Wazir Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of a paralyzed chess grand-master while Farhan Akhtar plays the role of a cop. The film also stars Aditi Rao Hydari, Neil Nitin Mukesh in pivotal roles.
