Amazon Prime Video’s latest release Toofan has been the talk of the town since its release. Starring Farhan, Mrunal Thakur and Paresh Rawal in lead roles, the film has created a storm among audiences across the globe. Directed by Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra, ‘Toofan’ revolves around the journey of a local goon, Ajju Bhai (Farhan) to become a professional boxer, Aziz Ali.
Talking about the preparation that Farhan Akhtar had to do for the role, his coach Drew Neill said, “Farhan was training for two hours every day. The pace at which he was learning might have been a normal start. So, instead of training for a year, he was hitting more like four years of training.” Farhan was initially coached by Drew and then handed over to Darrell for the training camp, and thereafter the shooting began in August 2019.
