  • I get immense joy by performing live: Farhan Akhtar
Actor-singer Farhan Akhtar says he loves performing live as he gets instant reaction from fans during concerts.
 
"I like to do everything but, genuinely, one thing that gives me immense joy is performing live concerts because you get an immediate reaction from the audience. That feeling of Iive performance is very different. That immediate reaction and that connection is genuinely something else," Farhan told IANS.

On the acting front, Farhan will next be seen on the silver screen as an ATS officer in Bejoy Nambiar's upcoming film "Wazir".

"Wazir" also features Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Aditi Rao Hydari in key roles. 
 
The film co-produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and is set to hit the screens on January 8 next year.
