for
theatrical
releases
since
early
2021,
Toofaan
will
be
releasing
on
the
OTT
platform

Produced

(ROMP

and
Farhan,
the
film
will
begin

2021.
It
was
earlier
scheduled
to
release
in

the
ongoing
Coronavirus
pandemic.
Farhan
made
the

Toofaan
is
Farhan's
second
collaboration
with
filmmaker
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
after
the
success
of
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag.
Talking
about
their
collaboration
Rakeysh
said,
"After
working
with
Farhan
in
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag,
I
was
certain
he
would
be
the
perfect
protagonist
for
Toofaan.
The
best
thing
about
him
is
that
he
does
not
act
the
part,
but
lives
it
completely."
Toofaan
will
see
Farhan
playing
the
role
of
a
national-level
boxer.
Rakeysh
revealed
that
the
film
is
about
motivation.
He
added,
"Toofaan
is
a
story
that
will
motivate
and
inspire
all
of
us
to
get
out
of
comfort
zones
and
fight
towards
achieving
our
dreams.
We
cannot
wait
to
present
our
film
to
viewers
across
the
globe."
Back
in
2019,
the
first
look
of
the
film
had
fans
excited
to
see
the
actor
step
into
the
ring
for
the
first
time.
