Farhan Akhtar, on the other hand, said, “The big challenge in this one was getting out of shape. Not because it was physically difficult to do, you stop training, eat whatever you want, so all that allows for it to happen. I put on roughly about 14 or 15 kilos. I wanted to not rely on any kind of prosthetic to make you look bigger and make you look fatter…”

Toofan premiered on 16 July 2021, in which Farhan played the role of a national-level boxer.
