After his jaw-dropping performance and transformation for the 2013 hit film ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, Farhan is back as an athlete, albeit this time a boxer in the Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra directorial.
The nearly two-minute-long teaser opens with Farhan’s character falling in the ring after being knocked out by his opponent. After that, in the true Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra style, the teaser shifts to the back story of the character wherein we see his transformation from Ajju Bhai to Aziz Ali, the boxer, with the support of Mrunal Thakur’s character. The intense sports drama also features Paresh Rawal playing the role of Farhan’s coach.
The film slated to release on May 21, also stars, Supriya Pathak Kapur, Hussain Dalal, Mohan Agashe and Darshan Kumaar.
