Big B, SRK to promote 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'
Summary: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has roped in Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan to promote his upcoming biopic.
It looks like Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is keen to use his connections to promote his upcoming film, a biopic on legendary athlete Milkha Singh. The filmmaker has apparently roped in Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan to shoot a special video as part of the film's marketing strategy.
A source says, "Rakeysh is leaving no stone unturned to create a buzz about his film. Now he has not one but two superstars to promote the biopic. A special video will be made of Big B and SRK talking about sports."
While Shah Rukh has been a hockey and football player during his college days, Bachchan is a very close friend of the director.
