  • 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. 
 
The multifaceted star is also a renowned filmmaker, who has directed films like "Dil Chahta Hai", "Lakshya", "Don" and "Don 2". 
 
On the acting front, Farhan will next be seen on the silver screen as an ATS officer in Bejoy Nambiar's upcoming film "Wazir". 
 
"The performance is what holds the film for the viewers and if you are a strong performer, that can take it to another level. For me, that is something which has always been fascinating," Farhan said about his fascination with acting. 
 
"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.
