Paresh to play Farhan’s coach

Earlier this year, it was announced that Farhan Akhtar will be playing the role of a boxer for the first time in his career. The movie is titled Toofan and Farhan has been training rigorously for his role. He constantly keeps his fans updated on his progress through social media and they are in love with Farhan’s new avatar. Now, Paresh Rawal has been roped-in to play the role of Farhan’s coach in the movie and has been training with him for the past month. 

This is the second time that Farhan will be collaborating with director Om Prakash Mehra after Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, where he portrayed the role of the legendary athlete Milkha Singh. Since Rakeysh wanted to keep the film as close to the sport as possible, Farhan will be seen boxing with real boxers in the ring and has been training with Drew Neal, the former world kick-boxing champion.
