When Farhan Akhtar made Dil Chahta Hai, we all respected what a brilliant director for a debutante he is. When he made Lakshya we appreciated what an insightful writer he is. With Don he had us in confidence that this director will give us surprises and the next surprise he gave us was Rock On.

Never thought Farhan would be such a versatile guy… Looks like God put all the creativity and brains in this one guy - he is a writer, director, actor and a singer - a ideal all rounder plus he looks great too.

We never thought that Farhan who started out as a director would become an actor and take the country by storm.

He tells, “I have always liked films and wanted to do something in films. But, I somehow didn’t have the confidence to be an actor. I had more confidence in writing and directing. I was perhaps more drawn towards writing.”

He did although imitate Amitabh Bachchan like all actors in his childhood days, “Yes, of course I did. There’s no denying that. In fact, anyone who is attracted to films would do that. And for me, back in those times, Mr Amitabh.”

“Bachchan was ‘The Hero’. Everyone wanted to be like him and I was no different. In fact, I always imitated his dialogue, “James Bond Ke Pote Hain”, he included.

Farhan, you rock!
