- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,March 23 2021]
It is true that Farhan Akhtar puts all his energy and creativity in his projects and the result always rewarding. Recently released teaser of his film 'Toofan' has created an unreal hype for the project and people are praising his amazing acting insanely ripped physique. Even the legendary Indian athlete, Milkha Singh couldn't help but praise Farhan's dedication. He said, I loved Farhan's look in the 'Toofaan' teaser. He has made a wonderful physique for the role of a boxer. My best wishes are with Farhan and Rakeysh. I will surely watch 'Toofaan'. I hope they make many more sports films in future.
Farhan played the lead role in Milkha Singh's biopic 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' and the portrayal was loved by everyone including the man himself. Milkha Singh said, When 'Bhaag Mikha Bhaag' was released, no matter where I went -- Australia, England or Canada, people around the world used to say Farhan is Milkha Singh's ditto copy. I even went to see Farhan train during the film's making and saw him run 100 metres in 11 seconds! He was not a professional athlete, but he trained hard to become one.
Interestingly, 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' was the first film that Milkha Singh saw ever since the 60s or so. 'Toofan' is set release digitally on May 21.
