Farhan Akhtar's Toofan to release digitally?

Farhan Akhtar

Speculation is rife that Farhan Akhtar-starrer Toofan will drop digitally. The sports drama, which went on the floors in 2019, was slated to release in September 2020, but was delayed due to the pandemic. Well, word is that the makers are still unsure about how long to wait for things to normalise for a theatrical release.

Farhan plays a national boxer in the film and to fit into the shoes of the character, Farhan had undergone a major body transformation. He also undertook special boxing lessons to essay his role with perfection. The teaser images of Farhan's beefed-up frame to transform into an on-screen boxer have raised the curiosity of fans.

Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra returns with his second sport-base subject with Farhan after 2013 hit Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. The film also features Paresh Rawal, Mrunal Thakur and Isha Talwar.
