Farhan
Akhtar,
who
was
applauded
for
his
role
as
legendary
sprinter
Milkha
Singh
in
the
biopic,
'Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag',
is
now
taking
a
similar
avatar
in
the
boxing
ring
for
his
upcoming
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
directorial,
Toofan.
The
actor
took
to
Twitter
and
unveiled
the
poster.
He
captioned
it,
"Toofan
Uthega!!
FIRST
LOOK!
#TOOFAN
releasing
2nd
October
2020!!"
The
poster
shows
'The
Sky
Is
Pink'
star
delivering
a
power
packed
right-handed
punch
while
flaunting
his
muscle-toned
body
in
his
ripped
new
boxer
avatar.
The
poster
shows
the
actor's
rugged
physique
on
full
display.
After
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaang,
Farhan
is
joining
hands
with
filmmaker
Mehra
for
the
second
time.
The
last
film
which
had
them
working
together
was
also
a
sports
drama.
Mehra,
while
speaking
about
the
film,
stated
that
'Toofan'
will
not
be
a
real-life
story,
however,
it
will
be
rooted
in
a
very
believable
setting.
In
an
interview
with
PTI,
he
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Anjum
Rajabali
has
written
this
very
endearing
love
story
of
a
boxer,
it's
not
a
real-life
figure
but
a
fictitious
character.
What
I
liked
the
most
about
it
(the
story)
was
that
it
has
a
new
voice.
It's
set
among
the
lower
middle
class.
Boxing
is
not
a
rich
man's
sport,
anywhere
in
the
world."
It
is
being
said
that
Farhan
has
undergone
a
massive
body
transformation
and
was
even
trained
by
some
of
the
biggest
names
in
boxing.
The
actor's
vigorous
training
activities
were
shared
by
him
on
social
media
from
time
to
time
in
the
past
month.
Paresh
Rawal
will
be
playing
the
role
of
Farhan's
trainer
in
Toofan.
He
was
last
seen
in
Uri:
The
Surgical
Strike.
The
film
is
said
be
a
boxing
drama,
which
will
have
an
attractive
love
story
as
its
centre
plot.
