The trailer of Farhan Akhtar-starrer ‘Toofaan’ is finally out, and fans have gone crazy on social media after seeing the promising performance of the actor in the much-awaited sports drama.
The trailer, which was unveiled on Wednesday, showcases the journey of a local goon, Ajju Bhai (Farhan) becoming a professional boxer, Aziz Ali. Actor Mrunal Thakur can be seen essaying the role of Farhan’s love interest who motivates him to pursue his profession seriously.
Actor Paresh Rawal is playing Farhan’s coach in the film, which is directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
Speaking about he prepared for his role, Farhan said, “‘Toofaan’ is a true labour of love. No matter how physically strong one is, stepping into the shoes of a boxer is a whole new ball game. It took 8 to 9 months of rigorous training for me to get into the skin character and it made me realize how physically, mentally and emotionally demanding the sport actually is.”
Farhan’s boxing avatar has surely left fans in awe of him.
‘Toofaan’ is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akthar and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. The sports drama will release on Amazon Prime Video on July 16
