As a birthday gift to fans, Farhan Akhtar reaffirmed his commitment to work hard and make films that can resonate with the audience. On Saturday, he turned 47. Sister Zoya hosted a dinner, which was attended by their father Javed Akhtar. Farhan's ladylove Shibani Dandekar wished Foo (that's what she calls him) by posting a mushy message, "Love of my life, thank you for being mine."

On the professional front, Farhan Akhtar will be next seen in Toofan. Speaking of which, the actor will be seen essaying the role of a boxer in the movie. The actor spent the better part of 2019 acquiring a ripped physique for his transformation. Toofan also features Paresh Rawal and Mrunal Thakur. The project marks the second collaboration for Akhtar and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, post Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, the 2013 biopic on legendary Indian athlete Milkha Singh.
