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. The source also added that the actor has been keeping a low profile, avoiding public events to maintain the secrecy of his look.

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.
