"The synergy (between cinema and sports) beats me," filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who is making "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", the biopic on Milkha Singh, told IANS.
Actor Farhan Akhtar, who plays the legendary athlete in the movie, is hoping the film will serve as an inspiration for youngsters to take athletics more seriously.
The buzz is that more filmmakers are waiting to bring heroic tales of other sports icons -- hockey star Dhyan Chand, for instance -- to the big screen.
