  • 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.

"Wazir" also features Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Aditi Rao Hydari in key roles.
