While his second directorial Lakshya is set during the 1999 Kargil War, in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag he played the role of the late Milkha Singh in the iconic sprinter's biopic which was directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
Farhan's last project as an actor was the sports drama Toofaan (2021).
As a director, his last film was 2011's Don 2 – The King Is Back, headlined by Shah Rukh Khan. He recently served as an executive producer on Angry Young Men alongside sister Zoya Akhtar, Salman Khan, and his producing partner Ritesh Sidhwani.
The Prime Video documentary is a behind-the-scenes exploration of the phenomenon that Salim Khan and Farhan's father Javed Akhtar, Salim-Javed as they came to be known in the '70s and '80s, were when their name alone on a script was considered a guarantee of success.
Apart from these, Farhan along with his banner Excel Entertainment announced the Don 3, where the makers have replaced Shah Rukh Khan with Ranveer Singh. The film also stars Kiara Advani as the female lead.
