The event is a British Film Institute (BFI) special 'in conversation' event, with the London Indian Film Festival. It is Europe's biggest independent film festival.
The festival commences 10th July and ends on 17th July.
Farhan Akhtar, who has scheduled to be shooting for Zoya Akhtar’s Dil
Dhadakne Do at that time has taken two days off from the shoot.
He will be flying to London on the 16th and be back on the 18th July. So he can be there for the last two days.
Due
to Farhan Akhtar’s multi faceted personality, the subject of the
conversation has not been defined. Farhan has a free hand in talking
about everything from acting to direction to singing and writing.
Big
names from the international industry have been associated with the BFI
before and it is a huge honour for Farhan Akhtar to have been invited
by the same committee to share his valuable knowledge and experiences on
Films and Filmmaking.
A lot of colleges like IIM, IIT, Havard etc have been inviting him for
lectures. This time around the London Indian Film Festival has been keen
to have him. Farhan's fans and popularity has grown two folds - in
India and also internationally.
The
actor has been highly appreciated for his fabulous performance in Bhaag
Milkha Bhaag recently and has been receiving a lot awards this award
season.
When contacted, Farhan's spokesperson confirmed the news.
