News Edition 24 Desk: Biopic has been made and is being made on the life of famous personality associated with many sports, film and politics. Viewers also like to see their lives on the big screen. Some celebs also charge a substantial fee for this. Let’s look at some such celebs.
Famous fast runner Milkha Singh, known as Flying Sikh, did not take any money for a biopic made on his life. In ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, Milkha Singh was played by Farhan Akhtar. Young Generation was very impressed after watching this film. Seeing this, many youths decided to become athletes and named them medals. Milkha had told in an interview that the producers of the film decided to give 1 rupee as a token money for promotion. This one rupee note was printed in 1958. The reason behind this is also very interesting. In 1958, Milkha Singh won the first gold medal in the Common Wealth Games in the history of independent India. Apart from this, by winning 2 gold medals in the Asian Games, the name of India was elevated. (Photo courtesy: faroutakhtar / Instagram)
