Catch Farhan’s spontaneous acoustic rendition of Sholay’s theme music

Dressed in a sharp suit, the actor-director strums the iconic track, accompanying it with a whistle

Is setting downloaded music as your ringtone still a thing? Well, if it’s not, we’d gladly make an exception for Farhan Akhtar’s acoustic rendition of the Sholay theme song. The actor, looking sharp in his suit, casually played the theme song of the iconic film, on his acoustic guitar while whistling the lead. While he effortlessly strummed the chords like it was no big deal, the whistling added a Western approach to it. While his video got a lot of praise from his followers, Abhishek Bachchan too dropped a hug emoji in the comments section. 

The nostalgia-inducing tune not only urges us to rewatch the film, but also adds a touch of Farhan Akhtar’s charm to the mix. #RockOn!
