The film's first screening in London 

On Friday, July 5, an array of Bollywood stars turned out for the film’s first screening at the Mayfair Hotel in Central London.

Mr Kuntawala said: “Right from a young child, I have always been fascinated by film, whether this be Hollywood or Bollywood. I have very fond memories of watching iconic films with my family on a Saturday afternoon and being mesmerised by what unfolded on screen.

“DVK is so proud to be the official global partner of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. This is a tremendous film, telling an absolutely epic story.

“Milkha Singh is indeed India’s iconic sporting hero and a living legend.”
