Farhan Akhtar's race to the finish line!

It wasn't too long ago that actors Akshay Kumar and Farhan Akhar were rumoured to be pitted against each other for the role of athlete Milkha Singh. Whilst the coveted part has now landed in the hands of Farhan Akhtar, the actor/director may just have got more than he bargained for as he juggles several different projects at the same time.

Not only has Farhan been asked to undertake an intensive training programme reaching six months to help him get in shape for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, he is also racing to finish the edits for Don 2: The Chase Continues which is scheduled for a December release.

Following his summer success, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, the multi-talented actor has also been inundated with promising scripts which he apparently wishes to go through carefully before turning anything promising down.

There's also the news that Sharman Joshi has been confirmed for the Rock On! sequel which will see Farhan stepping up to the role of producer and actor as he reunites with buddy and co-star, Arjun Rampal.

Finally he is also keen on starring in Abhishek Kapoor's adaptation of "3 Mistakes of My Life" (written by Chetan Bhagat), which is still in the scripting stage.
