Mumbai: Producer-director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who is all set to release his film, 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', based on the life of former athlete Milkha Singh, said that the film was not based on sports and could have been on anybody in an endeavour to show the human spirit.

The film stars Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor.
