Farhan Akhtar took to social media to announce as he shares, "Thrilled to share that 6 years after Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, @rakeyshommehra and I are reuniting to create #Toofan .. a heartfelt story of a boxer. Hope for your best wishes as we embark on this new journey. Love. [sic]"
The film is not a biopic. It is a fictional story scripted by Anjum Rajabali. Farhan fell in love with it as soon as he heard it. Rakeysh has already started with the prep and Farhan will be training extensively in boxing.
After playing Olympian sprinter Milkha Singh, Farhan is all set to play the role of a boxer in another sports-drama film titled Toofan. Excel Entertainment presents Toofan an Excel Entertainment production in association with ROMP pictures.
At the trailer launch of his production, Gully Boy, Farhan quipped that there will be another announcement soon from his end, but the film's event was not the right platform for it. Maybe this was it?
