The
makers
of
the
Farhan
Akhtar-starrer
sports
flick
Toofaan
had
dropped
the
trailer
of
the
same
yesterday
(June
30).
The
trailer
received
a
positive
response
due
to
the
actor's
performance
as
a
fiery
boxer
from
Dongri.
The
movie
will
mark
the
actor's
second
major
sports
film
after
the
2013
biographical
movie
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag,
that
was
based
on
the
inspirational
life
of
the
late
track
and
field
sprinter
Milkha
Singh.
In
a
recent
press
interaction,
Farhan
revealed
to
Filmibeat
whether
he
is
nervous
about
the
comparisons
between
the
two
films
and
on
Toofaan
receiving
the
same
laurels
as
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag
did.
Farhan
Akhtar
said,
"I
don't
know.
You
know
honestly,
it's
not
my
job
to
stop
and
think
about
this.
You
want
to
be
true
to
what
has
been
asked
of
you
in
this
film
and
that
is
all
that
is
important.
How
it
resonates
with
people,
whether
they
do
or
they
don't
compare
it
to
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag
which
was
an
amazing
film
Rakeysh
(Omprakash
Mehra)
made,
that
is
for
other
people
to
decide."
The
Rock
On
actor
went
on
to
add,
"I
think
for
me
personally
it
was
just
important
that
we
make
the
best
possible
film
that
we
can.
As
an
actor,
I
do
the
best
that
I
can
possibly
do
to
bring
this
character
to
life.
That's
what
I
have
done
and
the
rest
will
be
for
you
to
decide."
Talking
about
Toofaan,
the
movie
has
been
directed
by
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
and
also
stars
Mrunal
Thakur
and
Paresh
Rawal,
Supriya
Pathak
Shah
and
Hussain
Dalal
in
the
lead
roles.
The
movie
is
all
set
to
release
on
the
streaming
platform,
Amazon
Prime
Videos
on
July
16,
2021.
The
movie
has
been
bankrolled
by
Ritesh
Sidhwani,
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
and
Farhan
Akhtar.
Earlier
in
the
trailer
launch
event
of
the
film,
Farhan
Akhtar
had
also
spoken
about
getting
into
the
skin
of
the
character.
The
Sky
Is
Pink
actor
had
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."
