Biography:
Farhan Akhtar is the son of Javed Akhtar and Honey Irani. The director turned actor began his love affair with Bollywood at the age of 17 by assisting cinematographer-director Manmohan Singh in the making of Lamhe in 1991. But his main claim to fame came with his directorial debut - Dil Chahta Hai which he co-produced along with friend Ritesh Sidhwani. It also won him the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.
Akhtar’s next project, Lakshya, met with mediocre success. Though the movie did not do as well at the box-office, it won him much critical acclaim. He then directed a remake of the 1978 Amitabh Bachchan film Don with Shah Rukh Khan as the new Don.
In 2008, Farhan went from behind the camera to the front. He played the lead actor in Abhishek Kapoor’s Rock On!! Farhan not only acted but also penned the lyrics and sang most of the songs in the film. His performance in Rock On!! has won him many accolades and also the V Shantaram Award for the Best Debut.
He will now be seen next in sister Zoya Khan’s Luck By Chance in January 2009.
