NDTV
"We didn't train for a film, we trained to be a boxer," said Farhan Akhtar
Farhan Akhtar, who plays the role of a boxing star in Toofaan, shared glimpses of his training in a behind-the-scenes video. The eight-minute-long video documents Farhan's journey from when he started prepping for the role in 2018 till he stepped into the sets. "Boxing was absolutely an alien sport to me. My training first began with Drew Neal, who came in as my first boxing coach. Everyone has a natural fighting style. So it was important for Drew to first understand that in me," Farhan says at the beginning of the video. After training for physical strength for 5-6 months, Farhan was handed over to fight coordinator Darrell Foster and it was an entirely different story from then on. It took about two years to bring the boxer persona to life. This wouldn't have been possible without the belief & support of this amazing team.
