Singh had likewise embedded a provision in the venture, expressing that a portion of the benefits would be given to the Milkha Singh Magnanimous Trust, established in 2003 fully intent on aiding poor and destitute sportspeople. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag was perhaps the greatest blockbuster of 2013 and earned recognition from pundits and crowds the same.
