For a boxing film like Toofaan, a shoutout from an Olympic fame boxer is probably the greatest endorsement to count upon. Producer Ritesh Sidhwani also thanked Vijender for his comments.
This makes it so special coming from an athlete who is the pride of our nation. Thank you @boxervijender https://t.co/boDvC6peHH

Ever since the announcement, Toofan has been one of the most highly awaited films, which is touted to take the whole of a nation by a storm on its release.
Toofan will see Farhan essay a character which he has never played before, as he plays a tapoori who eventually climbs up the ladder to become a national level boxer, all by his determination and hardwork. After the successful stint of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Farhan and Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra reunite for the sports drama Toofan.
The film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra & Farhan Akhtar, Toofaan is directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra starring Farhan Akhtar, alongside Mrunal Thakur and Paresh Rawal in prominent roles.
It fills me with immense joy to give you the first glimpse of a film into which we poured all our love, passion, exuberance, madness even. It truly is a labour of love and today I am so excited to share it with you.
