Yuvraj Singh visits BMB sets to cheer for his father

made it a point to be present for his father Yograj Singhâ€™s shooting of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehraâ€™s Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.

Yograj Singh, a Punjabi-Hindi actor of nearly three decadesâ€™ experience before the camera (he was first seen in J.P.Duttaâ€™s Batwara in 1983) plays Milkha Singhâ€™s coach in

Mehraâ€™s film.

Yuvraj suddenly showed up to show solidarity with his father when Yograj began to shoot for the film.

Says the friend, â€œAfter his illness, Yuvraj has become closer to his father. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is the first film featuring his father that Yuvraj made it a point to take interest

in. When Yuvraj arrived on location, we could see his father was deeply moved.â€

While Yuvraj remained unavailable for comment, Rakeysh Mehra confirmed the incident. â€œIt was an extremely interesting moment when Yuvraj dropped in on the sets. He gave the

clap for his father Yograj's shot. Yuvraj's presence was a great inspiration for the cast and crew. Personally it meant a lot to me. My film is an inspiring story of a sports legend. To

have a contemporary sports iconâ€™s father in my film and to have the sports icon visiting our set was according to me, a moment of history.â€
