Ahead of the release of his sports drama `Toofaan`, actor Farhan Akhtar shared a glimpse of the training he underwent to prepare for his role of boxing champion Aziz Ali. Farhan posted a video on Instagram, wherein we can see him not only learning how to land a perfect punch but also taking some brutal hits in the process without any stunt doubles.
In the video, director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra says, "Boxing is a very unique sport. It’s not a sport for everyone." And we totally agree! If there was anyone who would do justice to a role like Ajju Bhai aka Aziz Ali, it is none other than Farhan Akhtar. The actor says in the video, “We didn’t train for a film, we trained to be a boxer!”
