Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who gave cinephiles the National Award-winning sports biopic Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, is all set to make another film, Toofan, which is a fictional story scripted by Anjum Rajabali.
The director's fans took to social media right after the news was out and made a Twitter trend. The fans are excited as the filmmaker's last biopic 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' is one of the most loved films in Bollywood.
The film will star Farhan Akhtar in the lead character who will be playing the role of a boxer.
The film is not a biopic. It is a fictional story scripted by Anjum Rajabali. Farhan fell in love with it as soon as he heard it. Rakeysh has already started with the prep and Farhan will be training extensively in boxing.
After playing Olympian sprinter Milkha Singh, Farhan is all set to play the role of a boxer in another sports-drama film titled Toofan.
Excel Entertainment presents Toofan an Excel Entertainment production in association with ROMP pictures.
