Farhan Akhtar had to shoot a running sequence in his upcoming film 'Wazir'. Farhan who has been following an intensive workout regime for his action packed role in the film was all geared up for the shoot.

According to our sources, the scene required Farhan to run behind an ATV Van. Farhan, who's current fitness levels run high, ran with all his might for the intense sequence. The scene demanded the actor to run close to the ATV van, however Farhan out-chased the vehicle.

Said the source, "Farhan plays an ATS cop in 'Wazir' and for one of the scenes he was required to chase an ATV vehicle. Since he was wearing formal shoes, no one expected him to sprint like that. Then at one point he overtook the ATV vehicle - it wasn't possible for the camera to catch up with his speed. The scene had to be reshot, this time with Farhan in a slower pace."

Post the shot, the entire 'Wazir' team was left baffled on witnessing Farhan's heightened level of fitness and the ease with which he out chased the vehicle.

'Wazir' showcases Farhan as an action hero for the very first time on celluloid. Written by India's highest paid writer Abhijat Joshi and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the film is Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, directed by Bejoy Nambiar and Distributed by Reliance Entertainment, 'Wazir' is all set to release on January 8th, 2016.
