Toofaan to be the first film to premiere on Amazon Prime Video in Hindi and English simultaneously. 

Lead actor and co-producer Farhan Akhtar revealed how challenging it was to get under the skin of his character. “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 8 to 9 months of rigorous training for me to get into the skin character and it made me realize how physically, mentally and emotionally demanding the sport actually is. I am thoroughly excited to see all our hard work on the screen and I am glad we are going to be able to take the movie to audiences across 240 countries and territories with Amazon Prime Video,” said the actor. 

Speaking about his experience and what made him say yes to the film, veteran actor Paresh Rawal said, “Any new project is exciting when it’s challenging. Playing a boxing coach was a new challenge, and that fuels me as an actor. Toofaan at its core is about all the challenges one goes through and how one should never give up. It is a wholesome entertainer that is thrilling, thought provoking and motivating. Rakeysh has created a masterpiece and Farhan brings his A-game here. I am looking forward to the audiences reaction to this movie and I hope they enjoy watching it just the way we enjoyed making it.” 

Sharing her excitement working with the versatile cast, the leading actress Mrunal Thakur said, “It’s purely a dream come true moment to work with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Paresh Rawal and Farhan Akhtar. I remember sending Rakeysh a Facebook message seven years back expressing my willingness to work with him and today its happening! I am thrilled, blessed and over the moon to be part of this exciting project. Working with this deadly combination at this point of my career still feels like a dream. I couldn’t have asked for a better or more inspiring cast or a better release with Amazon Prime Video premiering the title across 240 countries and territories” 

The story is about an orphan boy born from the streets of Dongri, who grows up to be a local goon. His life changes when he meets a bright and compassionate young woman named Ananya, a doctor who guides him to take the right path. 

Later, he finds his calling in boxing and becomes a world-class Boxer with his hard work and dedication. This is an inspiring story.
