The Flying Sikh Milkha Singh said he has sold the film rights of his biographical movie `Bhag Milkha Bhag` starring Bollywood
actor Farhan Akhtar for one rupee.
Milkha, who was in the city to receive the `Lifetime Achievement Award` by Calcutta Sports Journalists' Club, said `I don't want any
money from this film. But I have told the producer to give a part of the profit from this film to a charity trust for the benefits of the
sports persons. `
There is another condition also that the film would be given for release after he sees and gives the green signal.
Milkha said it was his son and noted golfer Jeev Milkha Singh who had desired to make a film on him.
`I agreed as we felt my story about how I reached the highest level from a naught should be told to the younger ones to inspire
them in their respective field, ` he said.
Sincere and determined efforts and hard work from athletes, coaches and the sports organizations are the essential ingredients
needed to earn a medal in the Olympics, he said while in the city.
