Hima Das and with Farhan Akhtar

India's newest sprint sensation Hima Das posted a picture with actor-director Farhan Akhtar, who has played the role of legendary Indian sprinter Milkha Singh in the Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra-directed film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, on social media on Saturday.

Das tweeted: "It was a real pleasure to meet you @FarOutAkhtar and thanks for all the motivational talks. Thanks @FarOutAkhtar bhaiya." To which, Akhtar replied: "Pleasure was all mine. All the best." Sports biopics being the flavour of the season, do we foresee another film made on Das's life?
