Farhan Akhtar likes to do offbeat roles in films. This one is no different.

In one of his upcoming movies, Fakir of Venice, the actor is playing a character that moves around with a monkey. The film, directed by Anand Surapur, is based on an article written by Homi Adajania (a filmmaker himself). And the monkey in it, by the way, is a pickpocket.

Hmmm … we’re not quite sure what to make of this but Farhan would like that, wouldn’t he?
