Farhan Akhtar Was Offered Role In 'Rang De Basanti': Rakesh Mehra

Farhan Akhtar was “fascinated” when he was offered the role of Karan Singhania in "Rang De Basanti" by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra. The director who casted the actor in two of his films namely "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" and his upcoming movie "Toofan", stated, "I told him I wanted him to act in my film and he could not believe it at that point of time".  Though the actor-cum-filmmaker loved the script, he denied acting at that point.
