Lead
actor
and
co-producer
Farhan
Akhtar
revealed
how
challenging
it
was
to
get
under
the
skin
of
his
character.
Talking
about
his
role
and
preparation
behind
it,
the
actor
said,
"Toofaan
is
a
true
labour
of
love.
No
matter
how
physically
strong
one
is,
stepping
into
the
shoes
of
a
boxer
is
a
whole
new
ball
game.
It
took
8
to
9
months
of
rigorous
training
for
me
to
get
into
the
skin
character
and
it
made
me
realize
how
physically,
mentally
and
emotionally
demanding
the
sport
actually
is.
I
am
thoroughly
excited
to
see
all
our
hard
work
on
the
screen
and
I
am
glad
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
take
the
movie
to
audiences
across
240
countries
and
territories
with
Amazon
Prime
Video."
Speaking
about
his
experience
and
what
made
him
say
yes
to
the
film,
veteran
actor
Paresh
Rawal
said,
"Any
new
project
is
exciting
when
it's
challenging.
Playing
a
boxing
coach
was
a
new
challenge,
and
that
fuels
me
as
an
actor.
Toofaan
at
its
core
is
about
all
the
challenges
one
goes
through
and
how
one
should
never
give
up.
It
is
a
wholesome
entertainer
that
is
thrilling,
thought-provoking
and
motivating.
Rakeysh
has
created
a
masterpiece
and
Farhan
brings
his
A-game
here.
I
am
looking
forward
to
the
audience's
reaction
to
this
movie
and
I
hope
they
enjoy
watching
it
just
the
way
we
enjoyed
making
it."
Sharing
her
excitement
working
with
the
versatile
cast,
lead
actress
Mrunal
Thakur
sums
up,
"It's
purely
a
dream
come
true
moment
to
work
with
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra,
Paresh
Rawal
and
Farhan
Akhtar.
I
remember
sending
Rakeysh
a
Facebook
message
seven
years
back
expressing
my
willingness
to
work
with
him
and
today
it's
happening!
I
am
thrilled,
blessed
and
over
the
moon
to
be
part
of
this
exciting
project.
Working
with
this
deadly
combination
at
this
point
in
my
career
still
feels
like
a
dream.
I
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
or
more
inspiring
cast
or
a
better
release
with
Amazon
Prime
Video
premiering
the
title
across
240
countries
and
territories."
Under
forced
circumstances,
an
orphan
boy
born
from
the
streets
of
Dongri
grows
up
to
be
a
local
goon.
His
life
changes
when
he
meets
a
bright
and
compassionate
young
woman
named
Ananya
who
guides
him
to
take
the
right
path.
With
love
and
guidance,
he
finds
his
calling
in
sports
and
takes
up
the
journey
into
becoming
a
world-class
Boxer.
This
is
an
inspiring
story.
Even
the
poor
and
marginalized,
beaten
by
life
circumstances,
can
become
the
heroes
of
the
nation
by
giving
up
the
other
part
of
life
and
adopting
the
right
path.
Toofaan
is
set
in
Bombay.
The
city
of
Bombay
is
like
the
third
character
of
the
film.
Bombay
is
Megapolis
and
one
of
the
greater
cities
in
India.
It
is
a
truly
cosmopolitan
city
and
a
melting
pot
for
various
cultures
and
religions.
Mumbai
runs
on
the
spirit
of
Mumbaikars.
This
"spirit" is
indeed
Mumbai's
proudest
possession
which
we
also
see
in
our
film
through
our
characters.
