Farhan Akhtar (
Dil Chahta Hai). The actor, who stars in Akhtar's next film,
Lakshya (also starring
Hrithik Roshan and
Preity Zinta), has an asthma problem and has apparently stated that if he has any health problems in the high-altitude locations like Leh (where the film was partly shot), he will return to Mumbai.
Luckily for the actor and director, the recently concluded schedule in Leh went well.
