NEW DELHI: Farhan Akhtar is soon going to treat movie buffs with his upcoming film ‘Toofan’. Its release date has been revealed. The film will stream on Amazon Prime Video starting 21 May 2021. ‘Toofan’ is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani (Excel Entertainment), Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra (ROMP Pictures), and Farhan. The highly-anticipated sports drama is helmed by Rakeysh.
Speaking about collaborating with Farhan after ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ which released seven years ago, 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.” 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.”
In the film, Farhan will be seen as a national-level boxing player. ‘Toofaan’ has been shot across Mumbai at real locations like the Dongri slums and the Gateway Of India.
