It has been months that Farhan Akhtar can be seen gearing up for his role in Toofan, which is being directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra in which Farhan plays the role of a boxer.

The formalities were locked in April and Paresh Rawal has been training along with Farhan in Mumbai for over a month now.
Promising the best duo on-screen with Farhan Akhtar and Paresh Rawal, filmmaker Mehra said, “Every director has a bucket list of actors and Paresh bhai was on the top of mine. I am absolutely thrilled to have him entering the Toofan family. Both Paresh and Farhan are great actors and both their characters are author-backed and well sketched out. There is a huge offering in store for the audience,”
