Talking about his role and preparation behind it, Farhan Akhtar says, “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 eight-nine months of rigorous training for me to get into the skin of the character, and it made me realise how physically, mentally and emotionally demanding the sport actually is. I am thoroughly excited to see all our hard work on the screen.”
