Trailer of Farhan Akhtar-starrer Toofaan packs a punch

Amazon Prime Video on Wednesday unveiled the trailer of Farhan Akhtar-starrer Toofaan. Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, the inspiring sports drama also features Mrunal Thakur, Paresh Rawal, Supriya Pathak, among others. The film’s high-octane trailer takes us through the journey of a local goon, Ajju Bhai, who becomes a professional boxer, Aziz Ali. Toofaan is a tale of hope, faith and inner strength, fuelled by passion and perseverance. It is set to release on July 16, 2021, on Amazon Prime Video.

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.”
