Recent reports reveal that Farhan Akhtar underwent a significant physical transformation to portray Major Shaitan Singh in 120 Bahadur, showcasing his dedication to the role.
Farhan Akhtar, celebrated for his versatile roles as an actor, director, writer, and producer, is making a return to the big screen after a three-year hiatus. He will take on the role of Major Shaitan Singh in the upcoming film 120 Bahadur. Reports suggest that Farhan has undergone a remarkable physical transformation to embody the look of a soldier, reminiscent of his dedication in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Fans are eagerly anticipating his on-screen presence and this new transformation.
A source close to the project told ETimes, Farhan Akhtar has shed significant weight to achieve a leaner appearance, reflecting the physique of Param Vir Chakra recipient Major Shaitan Singh during his military service.

Even at the film's official announcement, his appearance was not revealed. The source further mentioned that Farhan has also opted for a crew cut, typical of military officers, adding to the authenticity of his portrayal.
Farhan Akhtar is no stranger to physical transformations, having previously adopted an athlete's build for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Toofan. However, his preparation for 120 Bahadur has been a unique challenge. This time, Farhan had to slim down significantly while maintaining muscle mass to accurately embody the look of a soldier. The process required a fine balance, ensuring he appeared both lean and strong for the role.
Farhan Akhtar recently shared a glimpse from Ladakh on Instagram, where his crew can be seen setting up for a shoot amidst the region's stunning rocky backdrop.

Captioned "Crew at work" with hashtags like #bts, #120Bahadur, #EkSauBeesBahadur, and #Ladakh, the post offers a sneak peek into the making of his upcoming film.
Earlier, Farhan announced 120 Bahadur with a motion poster on Instagram, featuring the powerful text: "Vo teen the… Aur hum? 120 Bahadur." This film marks Farhan's comeback after his 2021 film Toofaan.
Meanwhile, in 120 Bahadur, Farhan Akhtar will portray Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, a Param Vir Chakra awardee, in this war film centered on the Battle of Rezang La from the 1962 Indo-China War. Directed by Razneesh 'Razy' Ghai, the film promises to highlight Farhan's portrayal of the heroic Major Singh in this significant historical battle.
On the professional front, Farhan Akhtar is also directing Don 3, which stars Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani in the lead roles.
