Farhan Akhtar turns actor for sister's film

Not many people know that filmmaker Farhan Akhtar is a good actor as well.Farhan’s acting skills came to the fore in Anand Surapur’s movie ‘The Fakir’ in which he played a young production controller who escorts a fakir from India to Venice.Now, Farhan is set to play the leading role in his sister Zoya Akhtar’s directorial debut Luck By Chance . Zoya had announced her decision to make ‘Luck By Chance’ some two years ago, but shelved the project and began working on another film called Kismat Talkies for which she finalized Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor .Now, ‘Kismat Talkies’ has been put on the backburner and ‘Luck By Chance’ has been revived.The movie is set in the present-day film industry and aims to bring out some behind-the-camera truths about the industry. The shooting is likely to begin in March next year.So eager is Farhan to act in his sister’s film that he has put his next movie ‘Voice From The Sky’ – based on the evolution of telephone – on hold (pun intended).
