Nayandeep Rakshit (DNA; June 3, 2015)

He has directed action films like Don and Don 2, but Farhan Akhtar has never used a gun on screen. He does so, in Wazir where he wields a gun for the first time, as he plays an ATS cop in the upcoming film.

Understandably, before shooting, he had to get trained on how to use and hold a gun correctly and get the body language right. The makers of the film hired a professional to train him, as his character had to look most comfortable with the firearm.

The actor picked up the nuances quickly. His look in the film created a huge stir among his fans and the teaser trailer of the film featuring him and Amitabh Bachchan in the same frame is much awaited. Says producer Vinod Chopra, “When I saw Farhan holding the gun on the big screen I felt he is the most natural actor to be doing action films. I was shocked when Bejoy (Nambiar) told me that Wazir is Farhan’s first action film."
