“Love love loved it !!!!” wrote Riteish Deshmukh as he added multiple fire emoticons while sharing the teaser of ‘Toofaan’ on Twitter.

Commending Akhtar’s transformation from a fast runner in ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ to a boxer in ‘Toofaan’, filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker took to Twitter and wrote, “From a RUNNER to a BOXER!! Wonder how you do it, Farhan! If THIS is not a KO, then what is!! You GUYS got the adrenaline rushing, with this PUNCH packed #Toofan trailer! Excitedly looking forward to CHEER! @FarOutAkhtar @ritesh_sid @RakeyshOmMehra @mrunal0801 @SirPareshRawal .

“The nearly two-minute-long teaser opens with Farhan’s character falling in the ring after being knocked out by his opponent. After that, in the true Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra style, the teaser shifts to the back story of the character wherein we see his transformation from Ajju Bhai to Aziz Ali, the boxer, with the support of Mrunal Thakur’s character. The intense sports drama also features Paresh Rawal playing the role of Farhan’s coach.

Farhan seems to have undergone immense training for his character in ‘Toofaan’, to get into the ring like a boxer and seems like his efforts have paid off.

The film which narrates the story of a boxer is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan, and Rakeysh. ‘Toofaan’ also marks the second collaboration of Farhan with Rakeysh after the massive success of ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, the biopic based on Indian athlete Milkha Singh.

The film slated to release on May 21, also stars, Supriya Pathak Kapur, Hussain Dalal, Mohan Agashe, and Darshan Kumaar.
